畿内を中心に掲出されていた煙草屋の看板について : 絵画資料に見る近世初期の看板意匠(3)(口頭による研究発表概要)

抄録

Tobacco and smoking first emerged in domestic historical records during the Keicho period (1596-1615). Though the Shogunate at first prohibited tobacco cultivation as well as the manufacture and sale of tobacco products, those efforts were not effective. Tobacco cultivation and production eventually spread from the Kinai area throughout the country and, by the mid 17th century, merchants who produced and sold shredded tobacco leaf began to appear. In this paper, I seek to clarify the signboards displayed by tobacco shops in the Kinai area.
