Japan’s Industrious Revolution: Economic and Social Transformations in the Early Modern Period
Japan's Industrious Revolution: Economic and Social Transformations in the Early Modern Period

The arrival of the Sengoku Period in the sixteenth century saw the emergence and dominatio…

Population, ménage et succession au nord-est du Japon: Aizu, 1750-1850
Cet article est une analyse des caractéristiques démographiques et du système de reproduction des familles dans une région montagneuse du nord-est du Japon, le district d'Aizu. Cette analyse repose sur une exploitation des registres de déclaration de foi, shûmon aratame-chô (SAC), de quatre villages entre 1750 et 1850. Il met en évidence l'existence d'une relation étroite entre modèles démographiques et modèles d'organisation des familles et des …
Population and households dynamics: A mountainous district in northern Japan in the Shûmon Aratame Chô of Aizu, 1750–1850
The authors examine population trends, demographic characteristics, and the family reproduction system in a highland area of Japan. Aizu district is located in northeastern Japan and has both a mountainous area and a narrow plain. The study is based on Shûmon Aratame Chô (SAC), population registers of four villages between 1750 and 1850 and focuses on the mountainous sector. Demographically, this area stagnated because of its isolation and remote…
The Economic History of Japan: 1600–1990
This multi-volume series of modern Japanese economic history encompasses both the institutional aspects of Japanese economic development and the results of econometric and cliometric research to place the key moments of Japanese economic history in a more general context. Volume one, The Emergence of Economic Society in Japan, focuses on the period from the start of the seventeenth century, when a discernible consumer population begins to form wi…

The Historical Demography of Pre-Modern Japan
Regional Diversity in Demographic and Family Patterns in Preindustrial Japan
This article integrates recent studies of population and family history to sketch a new image of preindustrial Japanese society. With historical evidence at the macro and micro levels, we demonstrate that diverse demographic and family patterns coexisted before industrialization. We conduct a simulation study based on data from northeast, central, and southwest Japan and show how demographic patterns and family structures are related.We suggest t…

Urbanization and History: A Process of Dynamic Interactions
Urbanization in History: A Process of Dynamic Interactions
This book represents an important contribution to the history of urbanization. The introduction offers a clear and instructive discussion of fundamental concepts, processes and measurement problems, summarizes latest research findings and goes on to detect new topics of particular current interest. Four principal areas of contemporary research on urbanization are covered: urban hierarchies and networks, urban-rural economic links, and migration a…

Another Fossa Magna: Proportion Marrying and Age At Marriage in Late Nineteenth-Century Japan
Using several heretofore neglected but very significant sources of demo graphic information for late nineteenth-century Japan, the study investigates the statis tics for proportions marrying and age at first marriage in all the Japanese prefectures. It establishes the existence of two patterns of marriage-one of early marriage in eastern Japan and one of late marriage in western Japan. Several explanations for this division are considered
The Shumon Aratame Cho: Japan's Population Registers
Local population registers were compiled in Japan from about 1670 on and continued for the next two centuries. Established as part of an effort to exterminate Christianity, these "registers ofreligious investigation" (shumon aratarne cho) list the name, age, and relationship to head of household for individuals in villages and towns throughout Japan. This article describes their origin, the type and quality of information they contain, their uses…
The Myth of Primogeniture and Impartible Inheritance in Tokugawa Japan
The stereotype of the Japanese family system, centered on the ie, characterizes it as one in which succession follows a rule of primogeniture, and inheritance is impartible. But examination of population registers—the shumon aratame-cho ( SAC) —covering the village of Nishijo from 1773 to 1869 suggests that patterns of succession and inheritance were not fixed, butfluid. After addressing the question of defects in the SAC, the author discusses su…
Mouvements de longue durée et structures japonaises de la population à l'époque de Tokugawa
Aspects démographiques d'un village japonais 1671-1871
Le Japon de la période Tokugawa nous a légué une somme importante d'informations démographiques. Bien qu'on ne puisse évidemment pas comparer ces données aux données scientifiques modernes, elles constituent néanmoins une source remarquable, surtout si l'on tient compte de l'époque des documents. Le Japon des Tokugawa est un exemple entre les états pré-modernes par la qualité de la documentation qu'il nous offre.Cet heureux état de choses s'expli…
