In the Naka River’s Upper Watershed, the main houses of local families owned fields known as kirihata used for slash-and-burn agriculture. Customarily, branch houses engaged in slash-and-burn farming under the direction of main houses. In addition, local archival records enable us to confirm the existence of slash-and-burn tenant farming during the mid-eighteenth century. In the case of slash-and-burn tenant farming, the wner and tenant, who was another villager outside the owner’s kinship network, would enter a contract, which stipulated the lease period and rental rate. Once the lease period had ended, the tenant would return the property to the owner. For the tenant, slash-and-burn tenant farming represented a chance to farm fields other than those controlled by their clan's main house. The emergence of slash-and-burn tenant farming transformed intra-village social relations, which previously centered around kinship networks. Furthermore, because land rents had to be paid in cash, slash-and-burn tenant farming thrust the region into a new economic era in which villagers had to obtain cash by engaging in commercial agriculture.}, pages = {261--275}, title = {近世後期の焼畑小作と村社会 : 阿波国那賀郡木頭村を中心に}, volume = {35}, year = {2020}, yomi = {マチダ, テツ} }
