Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the Edo period in what is currently the northern part of Nagano prefecture, there were many small cities, where markets were held. In this scientific research, I collected information from historical materials and was able to clarify: (1) the specific ways in which goods were traded in the markets and how they changed through the Edo period; (2) the specific forms of activities of the many merchants who lived in farming villages, and the internal structure of the groups they formed; (3) their relationships with the markets, and their mutual relationships; (4) concrete images of the people who brought firewood from mountain areas and those who brought salt and fish from coastal areas (present Niigata prefecture). In conjunction, I was able to confirm that the word "market decline" found in the materials referred not to a move toward permanent stores in the fairs as was said previously, but to transactions between merchants outside the markets.
