Abstract
Introduction: A petition issued by the territory to the Omori Agency of the Iwami Ginzan Domain in 1778 and a short memorandum describing the attached ginseng cultivation method were investigated. Method: Since the cultivation method was specific, it was compared with other methods that preceded it. Result: The short memorandum was thought to be a simple excerpt from the 'Ginseng Cultivation Record' by Tamura Ransui: 1765 and some copies of the figures. In addition, since the bonsai method was applied to the cultivation technique, there is speculation that development of the ginseng cultivation method on Sado Island was primitive. Conclusion: From studying development of the ginseng cultivation method on Sado Island, the cultivation method was transmitted to Nikko, after which a book was written. Furthermore, it is thought that the method may have been transmitted to Mt. Sanbe, and even possibly throughout the whole country.
