Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on the economic activities of residents of Awa Province’s Nakagawa River Basin, this research attempted to structurally elucidate the network of social relations surrounding occupations related to and the distribution of forest resources in early modern Japan. It resulted in two major achievements. First, by cataloguing and photographing the region’s largest, most diverse set of early modern records, the Yusawa House Document Collection, this research has prepared the groundwork for future research utilizing those records. Second, it demonstrated in a concrete manner how a variety of forest resources, including lumber, kindling, shiitake mushrooms, paper, and tea, were produced and transported from the region. Moreover, it examined the relationship between the development of distribution networks originating in the Nakagawa Basin and domainal regulation.
