| contents | FUSION URBAN PLANNING IN THE 16TH CENTURY. JAPANESE AND PORTUGUESE FOUNDING NAGASAKI Cristina Castel-Branco Margarida Paes Historia Luso Lisbon Urban Planning Japanese Commerce Nagasaki Foundation The city of Nagasaki represents the fusion of two cultures in an innovative urban planning that started from nothing, in a landscape that turned into the port city that welcomed the Black Ship or Nau do Trato (Kurofune), commercially linking Japan to the world. The correspondence exchanged in the 16th and 17th centuries among the Jesuits provides documentation on the important work carried out by the Portu- guese and Japanese in Nagasaki. Four urban elements symbolize the fusion in the city’s layout: the ship’s arrival dock, a vast public square that is not seen in any other Japanese city; the presence of open air streams with bridges, which were very rare in Portuguese cities; the geometrical grid pattern in the downtown area which was only used in Portuguese cities after the 16th century; and the fact that the city was built on hilltops and slopes, mandatory practice in Portugal and non-existent in Japan. The result was the first cosmopolitan Japanese city, designed by the Portuguese and the Japanese, in a context of peace, interest, respect and mutual curiosity. 2009 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36129851003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Vol.18-19 |
