Research Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to re-examine the morphological pattern and structure of Japanese cities and towns in and before the 19th Century. The chief investigator and other investigators in the project have carried out individual research themes as follows :
1) A. KINDA, The morphological pattern and structure of Dazaifu in the 8th and 9th Century
2) K. ASHIKAGA, The Planning of Fukuhara and Wada-kyo
3) K. ASHIKAGA, The castle town of Azuchi, A geographical approach to regional administration of Nobunaga Oda
4) M. YAMADA, The morphological pattern, size and structure of Sapporo in the late 19th Century
5) T. YAMAZAKI, The economic background of small central places in the late 19th Century
6) K. NARITA, An approach to the study of the structure of premodern cities
7) T. OHJI, For laying out a framework for the study of fortified capitals in Ancient Asia
At the same time project investigators have held several meetings with historians and archaeologists concerning the terminology and framework of urban studies from the viewpoint of comparative studies. We have also held excursions and mini- symposia at Hiraizumi and Kamakura, both of which were very important and typical medieval towns. We obtained the latest archaeological data and various other relevant, and have completed 7 papers as a result, based on a wider horizontal and vertical perspective.
