Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider the services of the carpenters in return for the favor of the feudal lord, during the early part of the early modern times (from Tenshou era to Kan'ei era), in six provinces of the Kinai district and Ohmi. This system was established by law during Tenshou era, and was developed gradually during Keichou era. But it became nominal at early Kan'ei era.
