| Abstract | The purpose of this session is to throw light on the structures and features of Japanese medieval cities, by exploring the capital city (Kyoto), local governmental cities, and religious cities. We try to establish a new method of research into the medieval cities by sublating archaeological, geographical, and historical frameworks. Here 'space', 'landscape', 'recognition of city', 'self-consciousness of citizens', and 'religion' should be the key words of methodology. In addition we start by referring to the ancient city on which all the medieval cities were based. |
