My article begins with s treatment of salt interest in the "early period" of the Tokugawa regime, and extends down to the Genroku era (1600-1688). During this period, which covers eighty-eight years, the warlike atmosphere of the Keicho and Genna eras had been dissipated, and the foundation of the Tokugawa Shognate was firmly laid.

Saijo-han, In Iyo no Kuni, which was one of the smallest hans-only 30,000 koku being paid-encouraged salt production. Every local lord was obliged to increase its farm production. An earnest desire to clear new land became very popular among feudal lords in the 17th century, and at the end of this period known as Genroku the feeling seems to have reached its hight. The present article treats of one of the most significant cases of this type of clearing salt-fields. To be sure, it was not easy to build banks in the sea-shore, and the Irihama-style field needs many banks. Fukao Gondaiu planned to build large banks in the sea between Kuroshima-island and the Takihama sea-shore in 1703. As we have ...
