Takase Shin Yashiki, which was created at the west bank of Kamo River between Shijo Ave. and Gojo Ave. in 1671, marked a turnig-point in urban dynamics of Kyoto in Edo period. This new residential area was typical of housing supply which went with plot division and no town houses at the beginning of urban growth. The three developers who carried this project to completion seemed to have come from Osaka. They ended badly in this new community that belonged to Takase Shin Yashiki, but they provided a new starting-point to establish an occupation called JimenShihainin who could manage new residential quarters in whole.
