The purpose of this paper is to consider the organization of the carpenters who lived in six provinces of the Kinai district (Yamato, Yamashiro, Settsu, Kawachi, Izumi) and Ohmi, during the Kan'ei era. They were under the control of the Nakai family in the early modern ages. Some dozens of them were appointed as the master carpenters, and the others were systematized into 80 carpenters' parties.
