 note = {This article examines how the historical character of the annual tribute paid by early modern mountain villages changed as a result of the influence of political authority and development of camellia tea production and distribution. Specifically, it focuses on Awa Domain's Kito Village, a mountain community located at the upper reaches of the Naga River in the regional fief of Tokushima domainal elder the Yamada House. Kito Village was located primarily within the Yamada House's fief but also included a small amount of territory directly under the control of Tokushima domain. The village paid annual tribute to both the Yamada House and directly to the domain. During the late seventeenth century, the tribute paid to the Yamada House was paid in kind, whereas the tribute paid to the domain was paid in silver. However, in 1762, the Yamada House lost its position as domanial elder and was dispossessed of its territory, which was then taken over by the domain. As a result, Kito Village ceased to pay any of its tribute in kind and instead began providing it all in silver. For the peasants living in Kito Village and surrounding communities, obtaining the silver necessary to pay annual tribute became a critical issue. At the same time, from the beginning of the early modern period, it was possible to produce both tea and mulberry. In particular, a type of camellia tea referred to as yamacha (mountain tea) was produced in the region's tea fields and swiddens. While a portion of this tea was paid to the Yamada House in kind, a portion of it was exchanged for silver. Consequently, it represented a vital source of cash income for the mountain villagers of Kito Village. In addition, at the end of the eighteenth century, the introduction of new processing method enabled the production of yore tea, a post-fermented tea. Currently, this tea is known as Awa bancha. That enabled the further commodification of regional tea products, giving rise to new channels of distribution connecting the region to Tokushima castle town. This led the peasants of Kito Village to request a change in the way that annual tribute was paid. Specifically, they request the right to cease providing camellia tea in kind and instead begin providing silver. Ultimately, their request was granted. When seeking to alter the method of payment, the peasants claimed that Awa bancha took longer to produce and process, which meant that would be unable to provide summer tribute on time. The real reason, however, was that providing tribute in silver, which was obtained from the sale of Awa bancha, was of greater financial benefit to the villagers. By examining the causes of this shift in the manner that annual tribute was paid and their relationship to the actions of the political authorities and development of the commodity production of mountain tea, this article was able to elucidate, in part, the structural mechanisms that transformed the early modern mountain village.},
