Chapter 1: The purpose of this study is to examine some of Okura-sho owned by the Tottori Domain used for shipment of rice, and to clarify the regularity of spatial structures and the effects on spatial structures by environmental conditions. Okura-sho subject to this study are nine "Nadaokura", and four Okura-sho located in the central area such as Yonago Castle and Kurayoshi Jinya-machi. Among these Okura-sho, the architectural remains were found only in Hashizu Okura-sho. However, the drawings were presented for each Okura-sho.
Chapter 2: It shows past studies and procedures of the study.
Chapter 3: It clarifies the formation of each Okura-sho and shows the building arrangement in a later stage of domain administration. "Nadaokura" consisted of main buildings such as Okura, Hakariya (inspection station), Bugyo-goya (station for magistrates) and Metsuke-goya (station for inspectors). In Okura-sho located in the central area, there were also Okura and Hakariya, however, not Bugyo-goya or Metsuke-goya necessarily. In almost all of Okura-sho, Okura was arranged in a form like an one-stroke sketch, located closer to the border of the site. When focusing on the location of Hakariya, there were two types of arrangement: some Hakariya were located in the garden surrounded by a group of Kura (type A) while others were located closer to the border of the site (type B). Type A accounted for most.
Chapter 4: The type A was the spatial structures that was advantageous to conveyance of materials and to fire prevention. On the other hand, ‹Akasaki› of the type B faced the sea, and building placement had a condition for a slim site shape. ‹Iwamoto› of the type B did not have it, but was affected by the excavation of the river which was planned to prevent sedimentation of the sand caused by the sea breeze. The hakariya and storehouses of the type B had the roles that were prevented window. Also these formed a defense line on the sea side of the okura-sho . The above-mentioned thing became clear. Furthermore, I added consideration to the ‹Hashizu› of the type A that was a base of shipment of rice.
Chapter 5: In conclusion, I stated that although there was a basic style for Okura-sho owned by the Tottori Domain, two types were formed as a result of adaptation to the site shape and special environmental condition.
