This article presents the introduction of the Heizaemon Yamamotos, (山本平左衛門), with their friends and relations at Tahara-go, Soegami-gun, Yamato (大和添上郡田原郷), of the Tôdo (藤堂) clan. Certainly the Edo (江戸) era was of the society where the status system existed; it is true that the class distinction stood for the military, agricultural, industrial, and mercantile classes, and each way of living was formed according to each status, generally recognized that marriage and association as relatives were blocked up within each class. In the case of the Yamamotos (山本), however, there were many statuses of samurais of many clans, the gardian family of the Kasuga Shrine (春日社), Gentry of the same status, tradesmen, and also many families who sent priests to the great temples, around the family of this Gentry according to the Hinami-Siki (日並私記) by Heizaemon Tadatatsu (平左衛門忠辰) which recorded the family relations of the Yamamotos (山本), covering over a few generations around the Genroku (元禄) era. We expect reexamination of the social life in this era, especially of the family by these facts, though conditions were changed after the Kyôho (享保) era.
