What does this research mean for the field?

The spatial characteristics of 'Tsubata-sanso' feature differing span directions, a small number of Okura, and dispersed frontal spaces, which were caused by the drastic rationalization of Kaimai by the Kumamoto Domain. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Study on Spatial Structures of Okura-Syo Located on a Port Built on an Estuary in the Edo Period (Part 10) : Okura-Syo Used for Kaimai Owned by the Kumamoto Domain

Key Points

The study aims to clarify the characteristics of Okura-syo used for Kaimai owned by Kumamoto Domain and compare them with examples from other regions.
Analyzed spatial structures and characteristics of Okura-syo and Tsubata-sanso.
Compared findings with Okura-syo from other regions.
Identified unique characteristics of Tsubata-sanso.
Found that 'Okome-yamatoko' served as a storage for straw rice bags attached to Okura-syo.
Identified two types of Okura distinguished by their directional spans.
Noted the influence of Kumamoto Domain's rationalization on the spatial organization of Kaimai.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of Okura-syo which were used for Kaimai owned by Kumamoto Domain. The yard “Okome-yamatoko” which keep straw rice bag was attached to Okura-syo. First, the nature of site, spatial structures and storehouse that “Tsubata-sanso” has in common was clarified. Second, those were compared with the Okura-syo of other regions. Next points were extracted as characteristics of “Tsubata-sanso”. Two types of Okura that span direction differed: A small number of Okura: Dispersing of space that is formed in front of Okura. The cause was drastic rationalization of Kaimai by Kumamoto Domain.
