Abstract
This paper continues my previous paper on the chief-carpenters' class controlled by Nakai family, during the Kanbun period. In the paper, I am proving the following three points : 1) During the Empo period, one hundred and thirty-nine chief-carpenters were under the control of Nakai family. 2) They were organized in the following hyrarchy : [figure] This organization is identical with that of the Kanbun period. 3) Those people who were chief-carpenters from the Kanbun period, were in the upper or middle classes in the Empo period, on the other hand, most of the new commers were generally in the lower class.
