A research in historical-demography during the Japanese feudal and early-modern era, focusing on the demographic events: birth, subsistence, migration and mortality of the commoner.

研究结果与原研究计划雅阁如下：第一个计划是尽快建立一套关于人口事件的优秀研究结果，并迅速将其不仅传达给学术界，而且传达给当地社会。2006年9月至10月，研究主任高木在国内学术协会（JSS，SEHS）举办了两次会议。另一方面，一家当地报纸公司（岩一新闻社）帮助我们发布了关于我们研究活动和成果的吸引人的新闻。这就是为什么我们可以说服许多研究人员成功实现该计划的原因（详细信息，请参阅各协会的Gist小册子，岩一报纸和下一页的“参考资料”）。2^<nd>和4^<th>计划是收集原始材料（Kimoiri Monjyo），并将其翻译成现代段落。Kozenji（主要研究村）的Kimoiri Monjyo确实由可靠的文献组成，但数量太多， 关于我们 我们不能使用各种登记簿（例如，一系列人口、迁移、纳税记录）。研究报告（即将出版）整理了仙台地区保存的人口登记的原始资料。3^<rd>计划是建立死亡率数据库，并通过GIS软件进行深入分析。主任自己也编制了数据库，因为要特别注意企业。三百多座寺庙的数据告诉我们，死亡人数的突然增加，特别是在日本东北部，可以根据现代农业统计来解释。死亡率的增加可能不仅仅是因为天气凉爽，而是因为封建领主（地方政府也是）和农民自己在这三百年中促进的过度依赖水稻产量。至于四^<th>计划，我们与当地历史学家合作，拨出了一部分资金用于保存材料。两个目录出版，以及，这是向公众开放的国会图书馆在东京等。减

Research results, which are in accord with the original research program, are as follows.The 1st plan is to create a set of excellent findings on demographic events as soon as we can, and to communicate it quickly not only to academic communities but to local society. Takagi, research director, organized two sessions at the domestic academic association (JSS, SEHS) held from September to October 2006. A local newspaper company (The Iwanichi Shinbunsha), on the other hand, helped us to distribute attractive news on our research activity and outcomes. This is why we could have convinced many researchers of successful attainment of the plan (in detail, see the Gist Booklet from each association, the Iwanichi newspapers, and 'References' on the next page).The 2^<nd> and 4^<th> plan are to collect source material (Kimoiri Monjyo), and translate it into modern passages. Kimoiri Monjyo at Kozenji (main research village) is really composed of well reliable document, but so many in number that … More we couldn't use all kinds of register (for example, a series of population, migration, tax-paying record). Research report (forthcoming) compiles those source documents on the population registration which the Sendai domain kept.The 3^<rd> plan is to construct mortality database and to analyze it intensively by the GIS software. Director myself had compiled the database, because it is necessary to pay special attention to the enterprise. The data from more than three hundred temples is revealing us that sudden increases in deaths, especially in the north eastern Japan, are explicable on the basis of modern agricultural statistics (Fuken Tokeisho). Increase in mortality rate perhaps came not only from cool weather but from excessive dependence on paddy yield, which feudal lord (local government too) and peasants themselves promoted during these three hundred years.As for the 4^<th> plan, we spared some amount of fund for the conservation of materials in collaboration with local historians. Two catalogs were published as well, which are opened to public at the Library of Congress in Tokyo and so on. Less
