Abstract
The aim of this study is to illustrate the spatial structure characteristics of Okura-dokoro located along the Kitakami River in the Morioka Domain during the Edo period. We applied the typological methods to analyze the features of spatial constituent elements and compositions of Okura-dokoros. As the results, four Okura-dokoros in Morioka Domain were categorized in a type, while their counterparts in other Tohoku domain's Okura-dokoros located on the rivers are categorized in other types, and when compared, the uniqueness of Morioka Domain's Okura-dokoros were highlighted.
