Keywords:Residential area, Local industry, Landscape transformation, Cultural inheritance, Mikageishi (Granite)
The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual conditions of formation and transformation of local industries and residential areas in the Sumiyoshi and Mikage, Kobe areas in order to contribute to community development and landscape formation and conservation.Specifically, the focus is on the cultural inheritance of the region from the early modern period to the modern period. Granite natural stone (Mikageishi) was used in the condominiums to create a landscape in harmony with the surroundings, taking advantage of the local history and culture. As a mechanism for maintaining the landscape, the reality was that the granite landscape spilled over starting with the granite masonry of the mansions and their outbuildings that are currently being maintained.
