IKUNO & ASE SILVER MINES, Hyogo PrefectureBiblio.com

Manuscript on paper entitled on label on upper cover “Ginzan Kashitsuke kiroku” “Loan Records of the Silver Mines” signed by Chudayu or Chiwaki Shiraishi

réf. 73918vo 235 x 168 mm. orig. blue semi-stiff wrappers modern stitching. Japan: 1853-54. Silver was mined at the Ikuno Ginzan Ikuno Silver Mine from the 9th century until 1973 and was an important source of income for the central government. Lead copper zinc and gold were extracted along with silver. There were a number entrances to the mine and more than 20000 local residents were in some way involved in the mining industry. In the 19th century the mines were running deficits as they were not producing enough silver. This is a fascinating official record maintained by Chudayu or Chiwaki Shiraishi 1817-87 of the loans made by the bakufu to the Ikuno and nearby Ase silver mines to improve their efficiency and production levels. Shiraishi was at this time working for the bakufu employed as deputy officer of the two silver mines overseeing their operations and finances. Later during the Meiji Restoration Shiraishi became well known as a scholar of Wagaku Japanese studies and as a journalist. This manuscript written in a very beautiful hand contains detailed accounts of the series of loans made by individual members of the bakufu to each mine with names of lenders size of loans interest rates purpose of the loans apparently most of the money went to pay the salaries of the miners etc. The signature of Shiraishi appears on the first and final leaves. In fine condition; some well-repaired worming touching text. Preserved in a chitsu. Stamp with release stamp of the Nagoya Eirin Kyoku the Forest Management Division of the Nagoya City government. unknown

SAKE MANUFACTURING IN YAMAGATA PREFECTURE 山形県, LATE EDOBiblio.com

Collection of 22 notebook reports regarding production levels of sake in Higashine village in Yamagata Prefecture

réf. 11073Yamagata Prefecture: 1819-68. Ushu province today's Yamagata Prefecture has a long tradition of making sake. The region has abundant fresh water and the climate is well-suited for growing sake rice. This archive of 22 manuscript reports was produced for local tax collectors by two sake manufacturers in Higashine village Murayama Ushu province: GenshirÅ æºå››éƒŽ 20 reports and Hachizaemon 八左衛門 two reports. Neither is in business today. Sake was a heavily regulated industry in Edo Japan and a major source of tax revenue. The shogunate also controlled production levels in order to conserve rice in times of shortage and to regulate prices. The government also required manufacturers to brew only in winter time to improve quality. These official reports contain statements of amounts of sake-making rice used and production levels of sake by number of barrels. One report was prepared in 1819 one in the 1820s five in the 1830s four in the 1840s two in the 1850s and nine in the 1860s. Most of the reports consist of four folding leaves of text. In fine condition. The archive's original wrapper is present. unknown
