| Research Abstract |
(1) The shipping business in the late Edo era
The detail of shipping business in the late Edo era has been researched through the analysis of Ukon families' historical materials. The main research points are following. The shipping business by Ukon families faced on a turning point in the late 18 century. Ukon families were employed by Omi merchants in the beginning and they operated the transport ship (Nidoko Bune). Ukon families had developed new business system, however, in the late 18 century, which means the management of merchant ships. They sold their goods which were loaded into their merchant ship at many ports. Ukon families' business was successful at the famine of Tenmei or Tempo because the demands of foods were required at that time. In the modern era Ukon families moved head office to Tokyo by the assistance of Mitui Bussan Co. Thus Ukon Families started transaction between their head office and Mitui Bussan Co.after Meiji 15. Ukon families developed their shipping business through introduction of western sailing ship. Therefore these points make it clear that the shipping business by Ukon families reached one more peak at Meiji 20's.
(2) the commerce
The commerce in the late Edo era has been solved through the research on Ukon families' materials as follows. Funds between Matumae merchants and Turuga merchants had been circulated through Kitamae merchant ships. The function of invoices were not analyzed until now, but its problem is focused on by this research. It is clear that selling invoice and buying invoice play another important roles and invoices have several functions. Ukon families' ships had called at many ports including Matumae, Turuga, Murotu, Hyogo, shimonoseki, Osaka. Especially Matumae wholesale stores were located in narrow area of Utubo no Shima at Osaka.
