Surrounded rice - Kakoimomi
In the Edo period, the shogunate ordered various feudal domains, towns, and villages to stockpile unhulled rice in preparation for emergencies. The purpose was to store rice in case of a storm, but from the mid-19th century onwards it was also used to regulate rice prices.
