Kanto Fisheries Development - Kanto Fisheries Development

Japanese: 関東漁業開発 - かんとうぎょぎょうかいはつ

This refers to the development of fishing in the Kanto region by Kamigata fishermen in the early modern period, and can be broadly divided into two aspects. The first is that some of the fishing towns in Edo were established as a result of the migration of fishermen from the coast of Osaka Bay. Tsukudajima, which supplied fish and vegetables to the shogunate, is said to have been established after the Tensho era by fishermen from Tsukuda and Owada villages in Nishinari County, Settsu, to which it was transferred, and the fishing town of Fukagawa was also said to have been established around the same time by Settsu fishermen. The second is that, from the early to mid-modern period, Kishu fishermen mainly went out to fish in various parts of the Boso coast with advanced fishing techniques such as makaseami (purse seine) and yattema (set net), and eventually migrated there and played a major role in the development of the Kanto fishing industry.

近世前期に上方漁民によって行われた関東の漁業開発をいい，それには大別して二つの側面がある。第1は大阪湾岸の漁民の移住によって江戸の漁師町のいくつかが成立したということである。幕府の御菜魚を上納していた佃島（つくだじま）は天正年間以降，摂津西成郡佃･大和田両村の漁民が移住してきたものだというし，深川漁師町についても同じころやはり摂津漁民の移住によってできたという。第2は主として紀州漁民が近世初期から中期にかけて，まかせ網(旋網類)，八手網(敷網類)などの進んだ漁労技術をもって房総沿岸の各地に出漁し，やがて移住してきて関東漁業開発に大きな役割を果たしたことである。
