About This Item
Honolulu.: University of Hawai'i Press.. 1st ed. 1995.. Black and white photographic illustrations, maps, notes, bibliographical essay, bibliography, index, xii + 159pp, a very good copy in a dustjacket. "This concise volume surveys three hundred years in the history of the lumber industry in early modern (Tokugawa) Japan. In earlier works, Conrad Totman examined environmental aspects of Japan's early modern forest history; here he guides readers through the inner workings of lumber provision for urban construction, providing a wealth of detail on commercial and technological systems of provision while focusing on the convoluted commercial arrangements that moved timber from forest to city despite exceptionally severe environmental and financial obstacles."
