This is a summary of our two year's research :1) Among those who engage in artistic activities, artistic painters were most assiduous in promoting the development of suburban residential districts. However, until the early Meiji period, their residential areas had remained the same as their places in the modern era. In the late Meiji era, as the status of artist painters rose, they began to move to the suburbs looking for an environment suitable for their artistic work.2) Development of suburban residential districts surrounding Kyoto City became popular in the early Show a period. Many of these developments had the bourgeoisie in mind : artistic painters, people in the movie industry, and university faculty members.3) In the environs of Higashiyama, folk familiar with the tea ceremony, known as Sukisha, established their own residential neighborhood.4) In a residential region around Jitoin Temple, there is a place called "Ekaki Mura" where Japanese artistic painters are the main residents. Seigo Motono, an architect in the vanguard of the modernist movement in Kansai, lived in this neighborhood, and there was a salon-like exchange between artistic painters and architects.5) In the Shimogamo region, Western-style artistic painters lived communally from the early Show a period. Later, government officials and salaried persons came to this locality. In Kitashirakawa, a land development company promoted the development of residential districts from the early Showa period. It became a residential district in which Kyoto University faculty members and doctors were the primary residents.6) University faculty members who live in suburban areas, often commissioned architects who were also university faculty members. It is conceivable that they had a salon-like friendship exchange concerning living in suburban areas on campus.
