A study of outbreak, transmission of economic information and its management at local city in Japanese early modern

1. 2004年：冈山县津山市“津山市地方博物馆”、青森县弘前市“广崎市图书馆”、和歌山县和歌山市“和歌山县立档案馆”茨木县三户市“茨木县立历史博物馆”、冈山县冈山市“冈山县立档案馆”、静冈县滨松市“滨松市图书馆”和“滨松市历史博物馆”。2006年：山梨县岩泽市“山梨县博物馆”。研究内容：我研究了各个博物馆的许多手稿，特别是经济信息。例如，它是商品的价格，大米和铸币的价格。而且它的信息是由官方控制的（Yakunin等）。2.八津家族文献和研究成果我在八王子市对“八津家族文献”进行了文献研究，并制作了目录。这些资料包括大量的官方日记、诉讼文书等史料。通过研究发现：（1）市场走势决定米价;（2）米价是多层次的、多年积累的“经济信息”的结果。由于研究尚未完成，我想继续这项研究，以获得更好的理解“经济信息”在日本近代社会的含义。

1. Data collection and research of historical materials2004: "Tsuyama-city local museum", Tsuyama-city, Okayama Prefecture, "Hirosaki City Library", Hirosaki-city, Aomori Prefecture, "The Wakayama Prefectural Archives", Wakayama-city, Wakayama Prefecture.2005: "The Ibaraki Prefectural Historical Museum", Mito-city, Ibaraki Prefecture, "The Okayama Prefectural Archive", Okayama-city Okayama Prefecture, "Allamamatsu City Library" and "A Hamamatsu City History Museum", Hamamatsu-city, Shizuoka Prefecture.2006:,"The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum", Isawa-city, Yamanashi Prefecture.Research contents : I researched many manuscripts in every museum, especially about economic information. For instance, it is prices of commodities, the price of rice and mintage. And it's information was controlled by official (MACHI YAKUNIN and so on).2. Yatsu family documents and research findingsI conducted documentary research on "YATSU family documents" in Hachioji-city and I made a catalogue. These data included a lot of historical materials such as official diary and lawsuit documents. Through this research, I found that (1) the trend of market decided the price of rice, and (2) it was the result of multilevel and accumulated "economic information" over a period of many years. Since the research is not completed, I would like to continue this research and obtain the better understanding of the meaning of "economic information" in Japanese early-modern society.
