Bakumatsu Era Kyoto

From Illustrated Shinsengumi

[full size]

The illustration depicts Kyoto before most of the city was burnt due to the Kinmon Incident (July 19, 1864). Toyotomi Hideyoshi built a palace to enclose the city of Kyoto in order to enhance the defense of the town of Kyoto, but even after more than two hundred years under the Tokugawa administration, a part of the Kamogawa side was lost. Most of them remained old-fashioned until the end of the Edo period.

The characteristic of Kyoto city at the end of the Edo period is the expansion of the clan's residence. Until then, there were more than 200 of his clan's residences in Kyoto, but most of them had only a few clan resident, and in some cases, the house of a servant merchant was called the clan's residence (Kyoyashiki). ..

At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, when the daimyo took his vassals and moved up and made them stationed in Kyoto as troops, a large clan residence commensurate with that was needed, and it was expanded. Since the center of the city has been a high-density space with townhouses since the Middle Ages, many seek land to the east of the Kamogawa River. In particular, 11 clan such as Kaga clan, Echizen clan, Tokushima clan, and Hikone clan advanced from Shogoin to the Okazaki area. Even if it is in the suburbs, it is an urban area as soon as you cross the Kamo River, and it is probably because the flights to Gosho and Nijo Castle were good. This site later became Okazaki Park, and became a cultural zone where Heian Jingu Shrine and Kyoto City Museum of Art are lined up.

In addition, the Owari clan's residence (currently Kyoto University headquarters) in front of the gate of Hyakumanben Chionji Temple and the Satsuma clan's residence (currently Doshisha University) at Sokokuji are also large-scale clan residences. In addition, the Kyoto Shugoshoku residence (currently the Kyoto Prefectural Government) was also built in the city area. The guardian residence was different from the clan residence in the suburbs, and was built by forcibly relocating a private house.

Kyoto at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate can be described by the word "forest of samurai residences". After the Meiji era, the land of these samurai residences was reborn as a public facility, laying the foundation for modern Kyoto.
