ON THE PRICE OF HOUSE AND LOT IN 17TH KYOTO

Abstract

This paper deals with price formation of house and lot in Kyoto of the early Edo period. (1) The place, (2) frontage, (3) depth, (4) price, and (5) the date about deal in the house and lot were written in title deeds of the 17th century. The difference of the ratio of the price of the house and lot to the frontage by dealings is large. It can hardly explain the deciding factor of the unit price in case of basing on items written in title deeds. The reason is that the house has not been described though title deeds has described lot.
