During the Edo Era many fishermen emigrated from Kansai to Kanto District, especially for fishing sardines, and some of them formed fishing villages there. Main purpose of this paper is to clear the transformations of these areas and then to analize these factors. In particular, the auther paid attention to the following three points: the fishing method, the relationships between the fishermen and the wholesalers dealt with dried sadines as fertilizer, and the ways of getting the fishing or business informations.
The summaries of this research are as follows:
1. The transformations of fishing areas by fishermen emigrated from Kansai District are divided into three periods according to the heavy or poor catch: the developing period (1555-1677), the diffusing period (1678-1725) and the migrating period (1726-1815). In the first period, they were fishing along the rocky coast in Kanto District. In the second period, their fishing area expanded to the sandy coast as well as the rocky coast, and during the last period they migrated to the rocky coast again and formed their fishing villages.
2. The shore seine in the sandy coast needed many fishermen and they were engaged in the various parts. Another side, in the rocky coast, the fishermen used the pair-boats lift net. Judging the fishing gears and the changes of the fishing areas, there are two types of areas. Namely, one is the shore seine type in sandy coast and the pair-boats lift net type in rocky coast.
3. In the area of the former type, the fishermen came there in small groups and took the higher position among the fishermen. On the other hand, in that of the latter type the fishermen came there in large groups. The area of the latter corresponded with the collecing area of the wholesalers at Uraga in the easternpart of Miura Peninsula. Generally, the fishermen got the fishing or commercial informations in Kanto District from another fishermen who had come there before.
