中村（高知県・四万十市）


土佐の小京都と言われる中村は前関白一条教房が京より下向して京に模した街作りをしました。街は碁盤目に広がり京にちなんだ町名があり、戦国時代の戦乱から逃れた街並は京の風情を色濃く反映したまま現代に至っています。

Nakamura(Kochi prefecture, Shimanto city)

Nakamura, which is called ShoKyoto in Tosa is developed imitating Kyoto by Norifusa Ichijo, ex-Kanpaku(chief adviser to the emperor) who moved to the town from Kyoto. The streets are set out neatly in a grid and several town's name were taken from Kyoto. The streetscape that could escape from maelstrom of war remains heavily tinged with old Kyoto's scenery.
