Yase-no-doji's spatial perception became obvious when a border dispute between Yase and Enryakuji happened in early 18th century. As a result of trial, the border between Yase and Enryakuji Temple was mapped on. At present we can refer five maps. We estimate the site of border and things that were written on maps, comparing with a topography and an air photo. We also carried out field works. Then we made digital maps to show differences among five maps. The findings in analysis revealed that the border between Yase and Enryakuji Temple conform with a border between Yamasiro-no-kuni and Oumi-no-kuni on a Gennroku-kuniezu, which is now on westen tip of Biwa-ko national park.The border dispute was attributed to a concession of brushwood picking that was done in Yase and Ohara village. Yase-no-doji collected brushwood from a sanctuary of Enryakuji Temple and sold it at a market in Kyoto. This ordinary economical activity brought border disputes with Enryakuji Temple. However Yase-no-doji got a favorable trial because of a privilege from an emperor. To express their thanks, a festival called Shamenchi-odori started. Original Shamenchi-odori can date back to middle of 11th century. Therefore it would be that historical cognition changed in early 18th century in terms of medieval festival organization.
