Shared-income forestry

Japanese: 分収制林業 - ぶんしゅうせいりんぎょう

This refers to a type of forestry where the landowner and the planter are separate entities and the profits are shared between them. This type of forestry emerged throughout the country from around the 18th century, and was called tokubetsubayashi (Tsugaru Domain), uetatebayashi (Akita Domain), nibuichiyama (Fukuoka Domain), and other systems, and was relatively common in the Tohoku and southern Kyushu regions. In these types of forestry, mainly farmers planted trees on mountains managed by the domain, and the profits were shared between the domain and the planter in a ratio of 70:3 or 20:1.

Japanese:

林地所有者と植林者とが異なり，収益を両者で分け合う方式の林業をいう。18世紀ころから全国各地に生まれ，取分林（とりわけばやし）(津軽藩)，植立林（うえたてばやし）(秋田藩)，二部一山（にぶいちやま）(福岡藩)などと呼ばれたものがそれで，東北地方と九州地方南部に比較的多くみられた。これらの分収制林業は，藩の管理する山に主として農民などが植林し，収益を藩と植主とが7対3とか2対1とかの割合で分け合った。
