Abstract
This study aims to reveal the method of using words concerning the urban parks in “Bei-O Kairan Jikki”. This report was written in early Meiji era when there was no technical words concerning urban parks in Japanese. I have picked up all words from “Bei-O Kairan Jikki” and analyzed them by classifying into two categories: one indicated general urban parks and the other indicated the specific urban parks. By analyzingthem, it became clear that these words did not only define form and facilities of the urban parks but also they described the contents and circumstances of urban parks that the author observed.
