Toshikazu TSUCHIMOTO,

Urban and spatial planning

This paper deals with urban dynamics of Kyoto via the example of Seiganji Temple's front in the Sengoku and Oda- Toyotomi era. There were some houses at the top of Ogawa river which flowed in front of the Temple. The Temple was destroyed on fire and rebuilt from 1467 onwards, but the houses kept on the river with no lot in 1567. It was after the fire on 1573 by Oda Nobunaga when the houses began to enclose the land behind them. The paper concludes that the each house on the river was changed into premise with houses and a lot.
