近世城下町における寺院の配置の変遷に関する研究 : 金沢城下町を事例にして　

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the urban planning by the Kanazawa feudal lord regarding the placement of temples. In the modern times, the feudal lords promoted urban development, including temples. However, it`s not clear how the clan leaders planned to place the temples in the city. To this end, a temple distribution map was created for each clan leader's reign, and the types of changes in temples were examined. The layout of temples in early modern castle towns has been discussed with a focus on temple clusters, such as the temple area found in each castle town. Most of them point out that the purpose of temple concentrations was military. However, there are some problems with these arguments, such as the fact that they do not take into account temples outside of the temple agglomeration areas, and the fact that they do not take into account the period when the temples were established. The following two points can be pointed out as results of this study. First, it showed that there was a significant difference between the two temple clusters in terms of when they were established. Second, it points out the role of the temple agglomerations at the entrances to the roads. Although it was previously explained in terms of a defensive function, we pointed out that the timing of its establishment and the appearance of the temple cluster suggest that it was not a defensive function. By looking at the layout of temples by clan leader's reign, this study points out the discrepancies in the timing of the establishment of temple clusters and the inconsistencies when considered from a defensive perspective.
