We study the q-Painleve V equation which can be obtained from the degenerat
ion of the q-P-VI (in the form of the asymmetric q-P-III) equation and pres
ent its geometrical description. Based on the bilinear formulation we obtai
n the equations for the multi-dimensional tau -functions of q-P-V (in the f
orm of nonautonomous Hirota-Miwa systems) which lives in the weight lattice
of the A(4) affine Weyl group. This geometrical approach furnishes in a st
raightforward way the Miuras and the Schlesingers of q-P-V.
