The collected sources provide a comprehensive overview of the historical Fuchie Village (Fuchie-mura), an administrative division that existed in Tokyo Prefecture's Minamiadachi District until its incorporation into Adachi Ward in 1932. Multiple sources detail the village's historical timeline, exact geographical boundaries, and its modern-day equivalent areas, such as Hokima and Takenotsuka. Furthermore, one source from the Adachi Ward government lists numerous historical sites and landmarks within the former Fuchie area, including temples, shrines, and the site of the former village office. A lengthy report specifically focuses on local legends and hidden treasures within the area, connecting historical figures like Tanaka Shōzō and the "Ghost Chimneys" to present-day cultural sites like the Hokima Hikawa Shrine and the Teikyo University campus. The sources also address the common spelling variation of the name (渕江 vs. 淵江), noting that both are accepted, though one is preferred for institutional names.
