STRUCTURE OF HIGASHIYAMA LANDSCAPE AREA AS THE PLAYGROUND SEEN IN THE DIARY OF NORINAGA MOTOORI

Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the structure of the realm around Kiyomizu, Kodaiji, and Gion in the middle 18^th century from an analysis of the diary of Norinaga Motoori. After making out the contemporary map of the era using pictorial data, the diary was read to analyze the spots as strongholds for particular activities and individual footprints. As the result, the frame structure of the landscape area which was experienced by Norinaga was shown; the collective loop-lines of routes which strode border of the temple and shrine precincts comprised a network of whole footprints, and 4 types of strongholds were arranged in the important points of the wayside.
