The present project, with members from various fields such as archival science, book and manuscript studies, and history, has carried out a comprehensive research of local historical materials focusing on the archival records, books, paintings and writings, buidings, etc., of Yamada Shozaemon Family in former Higashi Ebe Village, Takai District, Shinano Province (now Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture).
