Reseach overview

I research the development of regional economies in Japan from the early modern period to the early years of the modern period. By investigating ancient documents that show the economic activities of merchants and farmers, I examine how the state of society was during the periods. The purpose is to elucidate the structure of the regional market zone from the actual situation of money lending and commodity trading. I am currently considering the continuity and changes of the structure from the early modern period to the early years of the modern period ,in particular, clarifying what kind of economic activities the merchants and wealthy farmers who grew up in the late early modern period carried out and what kind of position they held in the local community in the early years of modern period.
