Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is to clarify the spatial transition of “Kagai” in Nagoya from the Edo period to the early Showa period, based on the distribution of traditional Japanese restaurants, machiai-chayas, and geisha’s residences. The results are followings. (1) In the late Edo period, geisha’s residences were in Uonotana, Hirokoji and Osu. And the Uonotana became a restaurant district. Geisha’s residences were also in Atsuta. (2) At the beginning of the Meiji period, continuing the situation from the late Edo period, and “Ren” that was a geisha association, were established. (3) By the end of the Meiji period, new “Kagai” appeared in the fringes of the old urban area and in area connected to it. (4) In the Taisho and early Showa periods, the prohibited area of geisha’s residence was set, but it didn't have much of an impact. New “Kagai” appeared even in the expanded urban area. Furthermore, even in the suburbs far from the urban area, “Kagai” appeared in line with land development and laying of trams.</p>
