Abstract

<p>In this paper, we explore the dynamics of mountainous landscapes, including national forests in Japan by examining the history of landscape transformation in the Yanase-Mountain, through the recent landscape anthropological approach that focuses on the dynamics of material forms of landscapes consisting of both natural and artificial components. Yanase-mountain, a famous forestry area in the Edo period, became a national forest in the Meiji era, and a forest railway was introduced to transport timber overland in the late Meiji era. In this paper, we describe the dynamics of the Yanase-mountain landscape over a period of about 200 years, focusing on entanglements of "inherent times" between human and nonhuman such as topography, hydrological environment, various trees, and forest railway. Through this historical description, implications of this paper's approach for contemporary issues in landscape anthropology is discussed.</p>
