| Research Abstract |
Modern salt industry in Japan offers marked regional differences in productivity and distributive machinery. Therefore it is essential for the historical study of the contemporary landholding system to analyze positively the management structure of each saltpan according to the regions.
The monopoly of salt started in the 38th year of Meiji. It has generally been considered in terms of productivity that two major groups of salpans entered into rivalry at that time. One is "Jusshu Saltpans " marked by large-scale management -- high productivity -- nationwide market, and the other is "Non-Jusshu Saltpans " marked by small-scale management --low productivity -- local market. Yet it is also evident that "Jusshu Saltpans consists of several types of saltpans, large and small, each differing with the others in date of foundation and productivity.
In this study the analysis of the salt industrial management was made of the following cases: the saltpans of "Matsugaisha " in Ikushima managed by the Matsudaira family in Kagawa Prefecture, Sakaide & Co. of Salt Manufacturing, Hayashide Salt Manufacturing Co., the saltpans managed by the Tabuchi family and the ones by the Okuto family in Akou, Hyogo Prefecture, and the saltpans managed by the Morimoto family and the ones by the Kunimitsu family in Yamaguchi Prefecture
