| Research Abstract |
I conclude the followings from the research on the trend of prices and the consumption of the city.
1. The prices of demesne in Heiankyo rapidly rose during the 10th and 11th centuries. The rising trend was much higher than that of the prices of farm. It was caused by the growth of the city, that was, by the increase in population of Sakyo (the left part of Heiankyo).
2. The price of the silk went down in the latter half of the 11th centuny. The main cause was because the price of cheap articles was pushed down by that of superior articles (hachijo-kinu etc.) demanded increasingly. A silk and an ashiginu was different in quality. These value as an Imperial gift was different. But there was not a big difference on the market prices of these.
3. In the middle of the Heian period, the official price of rice was set, 1 koku=1 kan. It reflected the price level in those days. Also, the prices reflected the official exchange rate, 1 soku = 5 sho.
4. As for the wage of unskilled labor in the 8th century, its trend showed the same tendency as that of prices. The cause is based on the monetary factor. The wages of artisans, helmsmen and rowers rose during the Nara and Heian period. The cartage also rose.
