Introduction / Appendix

Forest Policy History & Literature

The center for research on Edo-period forest policy is the Tokugawa Institute for the History of Forestry, run by the Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation. Many of its researchers study the forest policy of the Owari domain, especially the forests of the Kiso and Ura-Kiso regions.[1] It does not focus on Tokyo's own forests, but it publishes basic literature for understanding the forest policies that supplied Edo's timber.

How this site is written

Dictionaries and web articles are secondary sources that summarize original research. This site cites secondary sources too, but where dates or figures differ between sources, it says so. For example, dictionaries give the move to Shin-Kiba as either 1972–74 or 1974–76.[8]
