The following exhibition was held by Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology.

Academic Frontier Promotion Program by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
Exhibition, "Water Tokyo Seen from Outer Moat-For Historical and Ecological Corridor"
    The outer moat was the outer framework of the Edo Castle and the core of the water system in Edo. It had served the key role in the water system of Tokyo area since ancient times. Before the Jyomon Era, "Old Tokyo River" (present Tamagawa, Arakawa, and Tonegawa) had flowed toward Tokyo Bay located below the Edo Castle constructed in the later day. Since the Edo Era, dense canal networks in the vast lowland formed by Arakawa and Tonegawa were connected together below the castle. Tamagawa Canal and its diversion channels constructed in the Musashino Tableland formed by Tamagawa, were also linked to the outer moat of the castle. The groundwater under the above water system spread over the vast river basin of Old Tokyo River. People depended upon and controlled the water system. The system spread in a radial pattern or circular pattern, composing a wide "water network city" around the castle. The inner and outer moats were the core of water ring linking with head waters in outer edge of mountains.
 Even today, the outer moat configures the water corridor which encircles city core of Tokyo. Similar to other waterfront areas in Tokyo, the issues such as degradation of water quality, and how to use should be considered. For looking over the future way of Tokyo area, we should be based on historical and ecological backgrounds. Our activities aim to regenerate regions based on the viewpoint of eco-history. Starting from the outer moat along which Hosei University is located, we will hold the exhibition proposing regeneration of whole water system of Tokyo area. Furthermore, we will propose historical/ecological corridor in Tokyo area.
Date

Exhibit Room 1: 10 (Thu) ミ 16 (Wed) Apr. 2008

    Exhibit Room 2: 29 Mar (Thu) - 10 Apr (Thu) 2008
Place 1F, Media Lounge, Sotobori Schoolhouse, Ichigaya Campus, Hosei University
    Exhibit Room 2: Ground floor (Model Manufacture Room), Tamachi Schoolhouse, Hosei University
    *"Ubiquitous exhibitions" will be held in various sites.
    [Overview of Exhibition]
Outer Moat: We will show rich landscapes and latest situations of inner and outer moats as cradle of culture which encircle the Edo Castle. For regeneration of moats, we will consider water system regeneration through the old system where Tamagawa canal was included. The regeneration of outer moat is one of our major issues because Hosei University is located along the moat. One of our involvements for regional regenerations, is "Chiyoda-gaku" which has been realized by cooperation between Chiyoda-ku and Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology.
    Tokyo Area: Regarding low lands and city core, we will address regeneration of canals, Nihonbashi, and bay area, etc. As for table lands, we will introduce local activities developed in Hino, Koganei, and Suginami, spring water conservation activities for Nogawa, and regeneration of Tamagawa canal, etc. Also, the relationship between Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology and communities will be shown; e.g., head water areas of Tamagawa, Arakawa, and Tonegawa.

Purpose
How livings and landscapes in Kunitachi City have been changed throughout the history since it was called as Yaho Village? What did citizens got and lost? We will provide the place for citizens to revaluate the city-s history, nature and agriculture, and to examine community planning for the future. Yaho is located in the southern area of the city and is facing the issues such as expansion of housing areas, succession of history and culture, and so on. We will examine influences on children, and green conservation and restoration in Bunkyo and Fujimidai districts from the viewpoint of urban environment.

    The researches on groundwater have been concentrated on Musashino Tableland. Mr. Tsunoda has been involved in various researches on groundwater. Few researchers tackle with groundwater of Hino Tableland. Hino city is one of such autonomous bodies which have continued to research groundwater. However, the results have not been stored enough when compared with Mosashino area. Mr. Tsunoda is the only person who has conducted researches on whole Hino Tableland area. This is unpublished study which is financed by The Tokyu Foundation for Better Environment. Our team uses his data as a base. We hope you will participate in the seminar.
