^TOP I want to visit this place View this map Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture Important Map of Tottori Castle Town Kawauchi Area [1843, Tenpo 14] This map depicts the eastern side of Chizu Road (the upstream side of the Fukuro River) within the town division bordered by the Fukuro River and the outer moat. This important map illustrates 16 towns of the merchant class, the temple area (in red) located to the east, and samurai residences (in yellow) scattered along the Fukuro River and within merchant areas. Each property in the merchant area is marked with its frontage and depth measurements, along with the owner’s name. The notation of land ownership is believed to have been used to calculate town taxes and the “one-tenth silver” (a 10% fee charged on the sale price of townhouses). As such, current resident information cannot be obtained from this map. Notices of ownership changes are also pasted on parts of this map, with updates extending to Meiji 2 (1869). This suggests the map was used for town office records over a long period. Notably, the important map consists of six sheets, covering the entire castle town’s merchant areas, and is divided into Kawauchi Upper, Kawauchi Lower, Ezaki-Kamimachi-Tachikawa, Kawagai Upper, Kawagai Lower, and Shinpinchi.
