The “Makibatake” system was one of the special types of agriculture in feudal Japan. It has been practised in the Oki Islands for a considerably long time during the feudal period for self-support of food. The progress of capitalism, however, made such economic autarchy unprofitable, necessitating the disintegration of the system. The main types of disintegration of the “Makibatake” system are as follows: 1. Shortened cycle of rotation of crops and pasturage, 2. Desolation and dissolution of fields into forests and grasslands, 3. Changes into rice-fields and orchards.
The causes of disintegration are: 1. Disintegration of the economic autarchy, 2. Production of cash crops, 3. Profit of afforestation, 4. Establishmont of private ownership of the land, 5. Troubles in ucommon use as pasture of the private land.
