Abstract
This paper traces some of the linkages between the feudal landlord property and plots of residential quarters via the example of Takase Shin Yashiki in the Edo period of Kyoto. The land property by the feudal lords, which was prior to the urban development in 1671, depended on products of farm measured by size of land. Plots were shaped with the clear boundary lines in order to deprive the town dwellers of the planned products measured as square, when the west bank of the Kamo river which had been used as the farm land developed into the residential quarters.
