標題 A Report on the Analysis of Hoi An Historical House Documents
執筆形態 単著
出版社・発行元 The Gioi
概要 This report is based on the analysis of the historical house documents collected during the architectural survey of Hoi An ancient town, which was carried out six times in the period from September 1993 to June 1995.

Hoi An is a historical town located in the central region of Vietnam. It is said that a Japanese town thrived here from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. In Hoi An, many households still keep old documents inherited from their ancestors. These documents are mainly property sales contracts, property registration documents, mortgage documents, and family history records. The oldest document collected dates back to 1739. No documents from the era of the Japanese town were found.

As a result of the analysis, we were able to conclude that the surveyed district (the current historical quarter of Hoi An town) is a relatively new district formed gradually from the 18th century onward. Moreover, we were able to verify that a part of the south side of Tran Phu Street was adjoining the riverbank up until at least the beginning of the 19th century, and as the years progressed, the land area gradually moved southward.
