INTERRELATION BETWEEN RESOURCES AND SUCCESSION

在20世纪初以前的传统时期，东南亚地区对土地价值的评价很低。用于生产的土地在后代之间平均分配，在领导权范围内没有建立任何关于继承的规则。相比之下，在日本，由于土地短缺，独子继承的规则出现得相对较早。在领导权的继承中，长子继承制起着重要的作用。在上述背景下审查了资源与演替之间的相互关系。在这种背景下，研究了东南亚和日本的爵位继承问题。广泛收集了近代以前的领主家谱，对马来半岛的苏丹和日本的封建领主的继承进行了深入的研究。其中一个值得注意的现象是，马来人以兄弟为继承人的频率较高，而日本人以儿子为继承人的频率较高，这与资源和继承有关的其他方面相对应。

The value of land had been evaluated rather low in Southeast Asia in the traditional period before early twentieth century. Land for production was divided equally among the offspring, and any rule on the succession was not established in the sphere of leadership. In contrast, in Japan the rule of succession by a single son appeared relatively earlier owing to the shortage of the land. In the succession of the leadership primogeniture played an important role. The co-relation between the resource and the succession was examined against the above-mentioned background. Succession of the lordship in Southeast Asia and Japan was examined in this context. Genealogy of the lords in the pre-modern period was collected widely and succession of Sultans in the Malay Peninsula and the feudal lords in Japan was examined intensively. One of the remarkable phenomena was the frequency ofbrothers appeared as successor among the Malays, and that of sons among the Japanese, which corresponds with other aspects related to the resource and the succession.
