Abstract
Among the Street-names in Japanese cities, there are some special place-names, such as the name of a definite occupation, the place-names of the former residence. The author has criticized these two kind's of place-names, and attained to the several conclusions as follows.
1) These place names have a characteristic of the time, and then the place-names belong to the same kind distribute within a definite part of a city. By this reason we can distinguish one part of a city from its another according to the gradation of the growth of a city.
2) Both types of these place-names came into the world in the latter part of feudal ago, id. nearly in the time of A.D. 1550……1860.
3) The street-names indicating the place names of the former residences are almost given from the names of realms in Japanese feudal age and some from names of distinguished town in that period. According to these street-names he made one map as indicating in the Fig. 11. We can see the migration of population from one center of Kinki District which is showed by Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, to the northeast and the southwest of Japan, in the time of the past feudal age.
