Popular from the time of its publication throughout modern Japan, “Engeiko” has received mixed criticism based on later discoveries that have updated the knowledge on garden and garden texts. Through a careful reading and a thorough analysis of the text in connection with the relevant literature and the background of its publication, I reached the following main conclusions. First, in “Engeiko”, Yokoi Tokifuyu mentions as many as 103 gardens and 177 texts (from garden textbooks to poetry collections), providing valuable information on the way gardens and garden texts were understood in the middle years of the Meiji period ( 1868 - 1912 ). Second, “Engeiko” shows a revolutionary approach to the historical discourse, in which the intention is to summarise the characteristic features of the gardens built in each historical period and identify the predominant garden styles. This approach is still common in today’ s Japanese garden history discourse, and in this paper it was named “periodical style discourse”. Based on the above, we can conclude that “Engeiko” plays an essential role in understanding the garden literature and craft, both in the Meiji period and today.","PeriodicalId":274861,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Research Japan Online","volume":"02 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127407864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Collecting the City Construction Technical Guidelines of Sponge City by each ministry and city a literature survey and an interview survey were conducted. First, the utilization rates of the applied methods described in the guidelines were calculated and categorized and discussed according to the different natural and social conditions in which each city is distributed. Among the 22 applicable methods, six were most commonly used in each city: pervious pavement, sunken greenbelt, rain garden, bioretention cell, stormwater wetland and grass swale. These six methods, are most adopted in each city. The construction of sponge cities varied in construction measures and application methods depending on the regional climate. In the northern region, the emphasis was placed on measures of infiltration, storage, purification and use of rainwater, while in the northwest region, water storage and urban water replenishment were used, etc. On the other hand, no clear differences were found in application methods depending on the size of the cities.","PeriodicalId":274861,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Research Japan Online","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123733569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sampling sites of green spaces were extracted from a satellite image taken by SPOT 7 for a mesh size of about 250 m. In total 32 meshes were used as the sampling sites. Bird surveys were conducted five times each during the breeding season from May to June 2017 and the wintering season from November 2017 to February 2018 . The results of principal component analysis showed that the amount of green space in and around the mesh affects species composition of birds during the breeding and wintering seasons. Model selection by GLMM showed that coverage of trees in the mesh was significantly positively related to the occurrence of forest birds during the wintering and breeding seasons. Although the number of confirmed forest bird species was smaller than that of the surrounding patches, species composition in the urban matrix within Kyoto City was different from that in the matrix within other cities.","PeriodicalId":274861,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Research Japan Online","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115153237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The landscape created by the livelihood has been inherited. This study aimed to show the visual characteristics of the tea plantation landscape in Wazuka town from the viewpoint of visitors and obtain basic knowledge on the enhancement of landscape planning and revitalization of suburban rural area. First, based on the impression evaluation of the tea plantation landscape through a photo projective method, factor and cluster analyses were performed. The first factor was interpreted as the “openness” and the second factor as the “uniqueness”. Second, in classifying landscape photographs, four types were shown: high openness, high uniqueness, moderate openness and uniqueness, and low openness and uniqueness. Third, the relationship between the types of landscape photography and landscape components was analyzed. In conclusion, it was shown that the tea plantation occupancy rate is approximately 60% or more as a landscape, which has the uniqueness of a tea plantation. Moreover, it was shown the uniqueness of a tea plantation, in cases of the upward view and where the tea plantation occupancy rate is high on the slope, regarding the landscape where the tea plantation occupancy rate is less than 60% .","PeriodicalId":274861,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Research Japan Online","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114368078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, Viewpoints were set where roads and drains intersect with embankments in Tsuda-naiko lagoon reclaimed land. The plan composition, land use, cross-sectional composition, and landscape composition as seen from the embankment were investigated and analyzed at each site. The results revealed the following about the changes that were occurring. Firstly, the presence of obstructing elements and the loss of the axis line made it impossible to see through the axis line. Secondly, with regard to the landscape overlook, the presence of three-dimensional elements around the axial line prevented the view of the field. In addition, the reduction in elevation differences caused differences in the view of the fields. With regard to the symmetry of the fields, there was a lack of symmetrical viewpoints due to the disappearance of the fields and the emergence of three-dimensional elements. For the slopes that existed on the roads, the visual effect was lost due to the loss of the slope.","PeriodicalId":274861,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Research Japan Online","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127235325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
