Abstract
This article is a second study on the historical background of the carpenter parties in the Kawachi country. The sphere of influence that the Furuhashi carpenter party gained extended over four districts-Mamuta-gun, Sasara-gun, Katano-gun, Higashinari-gun-in the Kawachi and Settu country. In order to control the others the Furuhashi carpenter party was divided into many Moyoris. In accordance with the increase of the capenters the number of Moyori in the Furuhashi party rose from sixteen to twenty-two. The places of residence for each Moyori in the Furuhashi party spread far beyond the district borders. The Nengyoji was one of the duties given to the Moyori, and they acted as Nengyoji by turns every year. In this way the boss of the Furuhashi party would not invest the Nengyoji with authority and continued dominating the sphere of their power.
