Abstract
"Drawings and reports of sites at San-machi" was drawn up at 1692 by the boss merchant in Takayama. This was a register of sites. When a owner of the site changed and the shape of a site changed, the boss merchants added its change on the register by attaching a small label. This register was useful for the control of sites from 1692 to the middle of 18th century. Small labels showed mainly four contents. 1 term when a site was a pawn and the temporary owner for the time 2 a owner of the site changed 3 a owner changed his name 4 a owner chamged his stamp I can find many informations of sites in this register, for example, when and why a owner changed, and how changed the shape of a site. As I trace the changing of sites by reading many small labels, I can get the site planning at San-machi at 1692 (fig. 2) and also its changing. On the surface, the today's site planning has changed, however, the site planning established early Edo period continued under the today's site planning.
