It is also called urushi-ei (lacquer tax). It was one of the miscellaneous taxes called komononari (small taxes) in the Edo period. It was levied on lacquer trees planted in forests, embankments, vacant lots, etc. It was common in mountain villages in the Kanto and Oshu regions, and consisted of payment in kind (lacquer fruit or lacquer wax) and in money, with the tax rate not being consistent.
