Chapter 1. In this research, storehouses of domains in the Otsu rice market are studied, which do not have any architectural remains and not draw much attention in the architectural history, and the purpose is to clarify the principle of spatial structures and key points of building structures. I pointed out that the rice exchange house that controlled rice transactions occupied an important position in the Otsu rice market.
Chapter 2. It shows past studies and procedures of the study. The six storehouses were examined, for which their conditions in the domain administration can be known from the drawing.
Chapter 3. It shows the formation, positional relation between a rice exchange house and a storehouse, and facts of building arrangement for each storehouse. In Otsu town, the storehouses were established with the rice exchange house at the center. They can be classified according to the location. The type II formed a streetscape with shophouses. The one side of the site faced the street while the other side faced the Lake. On the other hand, Hikone-gura(type I) was located on the back of the shophouse, and its site was sticking out toward the Lake like peninsular. Regardless of the type, the storehouses in the later stage of domain administration could be divided into three sections: the residence of officers, the storage like storehouses and the place for unloading. And the front gate and the stepped pier called Gangi (or landing pier) are connected with the passage (or garden). When looking at building arrangement of the type II, regardless of the size of the site, a residence, storehouse and shrine were located closer to the rice exchange house. The wing of the storehouse was facing to the street. The front side of the shrine was facing to the passage. At the storehouse front or unloading place, there was a place with a fence called Haeba, and the three sections as described above also had fences on the border. On the other hand, building arrangement of Hikone-gura(type I) was different from the type II. The wing of the storehouse was not facing to the street while the front side of the shrine was facing to the street.
Chapter 4. The meaning of common/different points in spatial structures clarified in Chapter 3 was studied. First, I thought that the three sections were formed according to conditions of transportation of goods in any storehouses. Second, building arrangement of the type II could be established based on spatial recognition with placing the rice exchange house at the higher level. As the result, the location of the main residence was determined, but rational utilization of the land was achieved by placing the storehouses next to the residence. With regard to Hikone-gura(type I) located on the back of the shophouse, its front gate was open at the corner of the site near the rice exchange house, and the main residence was located on the center of the site. Third, when looking from the storehouse, it was considered that the defense line was established by a fence of Haeba or partition on the border. Furthermore, all storehouses commonly had double defense lines on the lakeside. Fourth, the reason for building arrangement of Hikone-gura(type I) that differs from the type II could be due to special conditions of its location. Fifth, the shrine was arranged with the storehouse in mind.
Chapter 5. In conclusion, the Otsu storehouse was formed based on the principle of spatial structures with transportation of goods, and lakeside defense was focused in the building structure.
