Research Abstract |
In this research we consider the riverside landscape of the culturally refined and mature late Edo period and elicit the rules of design employed in traditional riverside city greenery. From famous period portraits (Hiroshige's "One-hundredviews of Tokyo" and other "kiri-e"). At first, We ranked the rivers according to type and distance from Edo-castle. And then, We researched shape of the shores, the architectures, the borders, the connectives and plants. Next, We established the factor of city contexts that conformed the rank of rivers, number of managers, locations, level of activities and river crossing. We categorized them according to such features as location, type of river crossing, land use, and character etc. We furthermore analyzed the spatial relationship between the factor of city contexts and riverside design. In conclusion, we found that the factor of city contexts influenced the riversides design. And more, even as the riverside greenery adhered closely to a strict order, it also exhibited a great degree of diversity.
