A STUDY ON REGULATION OF CUTTING TRESS FOR FARM HOUSES IN HIDA

This report will analyze the old construction documents of building activities for farm houses in the Edo period. Abundant forestry documents have been left in Hida. By analyzing the documents, I clarify the concrete procedure about application, permission and provision of Wood for farm houses. I point out, 1: The estimate of lumbering in detail was requested from the application for cutting trees. 2: The ruler“Takayama Jinya”was recording the number of cutting trees in the whole area of Hida, and the number was ordered to be decreased. 3: In the case of provision of wood at the applied forest, agreement of the officials in the village was necessary.
