In the Heian era, all kinds of implements were called “chodo.” This paper is for showing pilologically how the meaning of implements changed in the Edo era.<BR>According to the dictionaries or the documents published in the period, we can know that the word implements involves two different kinds of the meaning in it; that is, we can call one “chodo” and the other “kizai” or “kiyo.” <BR>In the Edo era, “chodo” means the industrial art objects ornamented by gold or silver lacquer. On the other hand, “kizai” or “kiyo” means what we call functional implements.<BR>The most typical “chodo” of the Edo era is <I>daimyo</I>'s “choddo” involving the wedding one for <I>daimyo</I>'s daughters, which exists even now as a cultural inheritance. “Kizai” or “kiyo” as functional implements, which was made use of mainly by the common people, little exists for it was dealt with as expendable one.<BR>We can clearly distinguish between the meaning of “chodo” and that of “kizai” or “kiyo” in the Edo era. Nowadays the word “chodo” is used as a kind of pronoun given to luxurious furniture.
