Research Abstract

This Study’s Contributions 1. It has demonstrated that in debates on the establishment of Imperial land properties, goryochi, in the 1880s, only a few people recommended places such as Ise and Miyazaki as newly designated Imperial properties despite their relationship to the imperial mythology. 2.It has demonstrated that the Ise-Shima goryochi in Mie Prefecture provided the local community with agricultural and forestry products and played no role in works deeply related to the management of the Ise Shrine such as providing timber for the shikinensengu ritual, the reconstruction of the shrine that took place every twenty years. And it has also shown that the Morokata goryochi in Miyazaki Prefecture became an area for the camphor cultivation, which was then one of the major industries in Japan. 3. It has demonstrated that the Japanese government disposed of the goryochi properties in both Ise-Shima and Morokata because of huge deficits and saw no opposition against their decision.
