Description

This paper analyzes how the riverbank area along the Sakura River has been evolved since it was officially registered as "Kashi" in the Meiji era. Kitasakura-kashi and Minamisakura-kashi were investigated. To fully understand the diversity of each kashi, kashichi maps from 1882 and official kashichi license documents from 1882 and 1889 were mainly used. The evolution of kashi is analyzed from the point of view of land use and ownership and in four periods: pres-Shikukaisei, post-Shikukaisei, post-Great Kanto Earthquake and post-World War II. In the third period of the Meiji Era, they were prosperous by iron commerce. But they declined as water transportation was less used. The Sakura river was buried after the World WarII. Each lot of kashi was sold out to compensate deficit finance of Tokyo Metropolis. But the post river still remain public space. It is helpful for the renewal of this district to research about the preserved historical stocks.
