Abstract
This article is to follow the previous part (1). In this part (2), the deformation of ancient Oji (major street) and Koji (minor street) is discussed. Oji and Koji which had once formed strict structure of ancient Heiankyo were deformed in their physical features as well as in characters especially by invation of many land lords. This resulted the disappearance of difference between Oji and Koji, and new urban space "Machi" mainly consist of street architectures "Machiya" was being established, enclosing rather narrow streets. "Zushi", the special name in Kyoto for the alley in a blook, is also discussed here, in its form and characters.
