Abstract
Many city plans of Kyoto were printed by HAYASHI Yoshinaga during the middle of the Edo period. The design of these plans changed from the late 17th century to the middle of the 18th century. In this presentation, this change is considered in relation to the various conditions in Kyoto at that time. There were three types of the city plans of Kyoto printed by HAYASHI Yoshinaga. The plans of the first type were printed from 1680s to 1710s. And those of the second type were printed from 1710s to 1730s and those of the third type were printed from 1740s to 1760s. Distance and direction to various places from Kyoto was showed in these plans. The starting point to various places showed in the plans of the first type was Ichijo-muromachi. But that of the plans of the second and the third type was Sanjo-ohashi. Furthermore the streets in Fushimi were showed more fully in the plans of the second and the third type than in those of the first type. Sanjo-ohashi and Fushimi were the important places that linked Kyoto to the other places. These plans were not only for residents of Kyoto but also for visitors to Kyoto. And this feature became more and more clearly from the plans of the first type to those of the third type. Furthermore the plans of the third type consisted of two parts and the boundary of these parts was Sanjo-Dori. So, these plans were the biggest plans and showed the correctest shape of Kyoto in these three types of the plans.
