STUDY ON SPATIAL STRUCTURES OF OKURA-SYO LOCATED ON A PORT BUILT ON AN ESTUARY IN THE EDO PERIOD (PART 8) : THE OKURA-SYO AT SHIPPING PLACES IN THE TERRITORY OF KAGA DOMAIN

This study targeted the four Okura-syo located at shipping place on an estuary in the Kaga Domain’s territory that were used for “Kaimai”. These Okura-syo had differences from the principle of spatial structures, and from the nature of Okura-syo of “Nihonkai Type” in Tohoku Region. In addition, the characteristics of Okura-syo used for “Kaimai” in the Kaga Domain’s territory were clarified, through comparing the nature between the Okura-syo owned by Kaga Domain and the Okura-syo located on the Shinano Estuary. The cause of characteristics of Okura-syo was the peculiar environments in Kaga Domain’s territory, and the management/construction by domain.
