This study employs historical maps and data to examine the establishment and transformation of the townspeople's land
Cyonin-chi in Komagome district. Few townspeople's areas appeared before the Edo Period. In the early Edo Period, some farmlands were requisitioned as infantry residential land (
Kumi-yashiki) or other feudal government land. Furthermore, many temples were relocated along with commercial towns (
Monzen) in the Edo Period. Eventually, the townspeople's land in this area began to expand.
Many townspeople's lands were authorized as
Machi-kata in 1737 and controlled by a town magistrate (
Machi-Bugyo) in 1745. This analysis found that the townspeople's lands in this area were organized into five categories as follows:
I .
Hairyo-machi-ya: Bestowed townspeople's land
II . Townspeople's land of
Rinsyo-in's territory
III . Townspeople's land of
Dentu-in's territory
IV .
Hyakusyo-machi-ya: Townspeople's land inclusive of other temple's territory
V .
Monzen: Commercial town in front of temple
