Research Abstract	The recycling of iron objects was fully practiced in the iron technology of the Emishi. The Processing of these iron products on a hearth was already being practiced. The Emishi obtained iron row material in the form of iron object, such as scrap iron acquired by trade exchange. Iron materials are obtained through a distribution network. These iron products were processed and covered the demand for everyday necessities. It may be possible to say that a distribution can be organized by leaders who also have a power to redistribute them.
