Synopsis The authors discussed the vegetation landscape in the southwestern part of Yokohama in the 1880's using Kohkoku-chishi and Jinsokuzu-genzu (original survey drawings for Jinsoku-zu) that were made in the period. Description about the firewood and charcoal conditions shows the fact that coppice made up mostly of broadleaved trees, which served as the source of such wood fuel, and spread extensively over the hills in the area. While many of the deciduous broad-leaved forests consisting mainly of Quercus serrata and Quercus acutissima formed dense stands, some of them existed as thinly spaced growth. The area covered with pine forests is the second largest after the coppice-covered parts. However, there were not many Japanese cedar forests. Most of the forests on the plains were small ones each covering an area of 5 ha or less. Although there were some coppice and Japanese cedar forests, especially dominant among them were pine forests. Pine trees also accounted for an overwhelming majority of old trees in Shinto shrines. Grasslands including lawns and thatch fields used for grazing as well as collecting grass for hay served as an element to accentuate the vegetation landscape, although their total area was small. As is the case with most other areas, flatlands on the plateau and hills were used as fields while alluvial plains and dendritic alluvial plains locally called "yato" were used as paddy fields.
