A Great Transformation: Social And Economic Change In Sixteenth And Seventeenth-Century Japan
This chapter focuses on Japan's emergence as an 'economy-minded society', the most crucial prerequisite of its industrialisation and modernisation. It determines when the maximisation of economic utility in Japan began. With two reservations, it asserts that it appeared first in late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is realized that in Japan this transformation to an economically-minded society and to industrialisation did not take place a…
The Shūmon Aratame Chō: 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 of religious investigation (shumon aratame 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 for de…
Size Of Household In A Japanese County Throughout The Tokugawa Era
INTRODUCTORY We have three main purposes in this chapter. First, to examine the structure and size of households in pre-industrial Japan. Second, to present the results of the historical demographic research which is being carried out by the study group at Keio University on the demographic history of changes in household size during the Tokugawa era (1603–1868). Finally, to present material which can be used in international cross comparison wit…
Illegitimacy In Japan
Before the Meiji Restoration of 1868 there was no clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Concubinage was a recognized practice among wealthy and upper classes and in farming communities sexual relationship before marriage was an accepted custom. The distinction between kosei (legitimate) and shisei (illegitimate) in the statistics of Meiji period is the result of introduction, after the Restoration, of European philosophy…
Another Fossa Magna: Proportion Marrying And Age At Marriage In Late Nineteenth-Century Japan
Geographical location and degree of urbanization seem to be the decisive factors. The division line, incidentally, itself does fall on the Fossa Magna, a geological trough line which divides Japan into east and west. What we are interested in is the relationship between age at marriage and economic development. If age at marriage is dependent on economic circumstances, as is thought generally to be the case in the premodern world, such regional d…
The Population At The Beginning Of The Tokugawa Period
Tokugawa Japan bequeathed to us an abundant supply of materials for population study. Although these do not constitute vital statistics in the modern demographic sense, Japan in the Tokugawa period was a rare example of a well-documented pre-modern state. When Hideyoshi Toyotomi succeeded in the unification of the country in the last part of the 16th century, the Shōgun and the provincial feudal lords became very much interested in the quantitati…
