DEVELOPMENTS OF CLIENTS AROUND RURAL CARPENTER PARTIES 'SETTSU FUKUI-GUMI'AND 'KAWACHI FURUHASHI-GUMI'

摘要

Using the archives of carpenter parties in rural villages of Settsu and Kawachi, we pointed out following.From the latter 17th centry to the mid-18th century, domains had been completely fixed by the parties,which limited clients' choice of carpenters and caused various troubles. Againstthat, clients hired no-licenced carpenters and the parties coped with them by official notice. The regional union, which was remarkable from the mid-18th century, strengthened voices to regulations of the parties. Depending on these developments of clients, the parties who approved officially may have interpreted the control in their own way.
