Research Abstract |
The relationship between landlords and peasants in Edo era was nothing more than restructuring multiple land-ownership which had existed since medieval times. On multiple land-ownership, there were some proprietors on one land, which is different from the idea of ownership where the "one right for one good" principle prevails under modern Civil Code.The multiple land-ownership had been maintained on the relationship between landlords and tenants in Meiji era, after WW1, tenant legislations trying to change its structure had not succeeded.
