This paper explores the process by which the functions of riverbanks in the study area were reorganized and took on new modern urban functions from the Bakumatsu period (ca. 1853-1868) to the Meiji era (1868-1912) by investigating the formation and transformation of two “kashi” (common riverside spaces), Kagura-kashi and Ichibei-kashi.
This paper successfully identifies two urban trends. First, land plots and renter trends in both kashi were determined by gradual enlargements of the partial-use states of the preceding Bakumatsu period. Second, adjacent towns and entities based in those towns strongly influenced kashi creation and development.
