Abstract
This treatise deals with the documents between 1728 and 1902. Trese documents were written in building houses and storehouses, and they were recordes about the purchase of building-materials and the charge for labor of the artisans. In this district, former years, farmhouses were built by the peasants themselves without the assistance of professional workers. But, with the advance of architecture, high techniques were demanded gradually. And here, as a professional worker, the carpenter was appeared. And then appeared the thatcher and the sawyer as professional workers. (Both appeared the latter half of 18 century hence.) But it was rather late that plasterer takes his share in building the houses. It can be conjectured that the plasterer joined in building houses at the end of 19 century. On the other hand, these artisans above mentioned, were engaged in agriculture and made a living by them.
