A study on the location of storehouse from the aspect of ownership in Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture

Abstract

In this research, we aimed to analyze the locations of storehouses from the perspective of ownership, and to clarify the location profile of storehouses on Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, for villages not previously investigated. The study area was Tsushima, a detached island in Nagasaki Prefecture. The areas surveyed surveyed were five villages, namely Tanohama, Waita, Yokoura, Shimobaru, and Kashine. As a result of the survey, we were able to clarify the location and ownership of storehouses in the surveyed settlement. Various storehouse ownership forms were seen, such storehouses owned near the main building and those located far away. In response to the survey results in this study, it is inferred that storehouses tend to be built on unusable land around the village. It was also inferred that the location of storehouses is affected by land use and land ownership in the village. The results of this project contribute to the development of storehouse research in Japan and abroad, emphasize the value of Tsushima's disappearing storehouses, and also contributes to the preservation and utilization as a cultural property of cultural landscape elements.
