Honryōshi - Fisherman

Japanese: 本漁師 - ほんりょうし

Hon-byakusho in fishing villages. Terms such as Hamakata-byakusho, Urakata-byakusho, and Hamamono often refer to hon-gyonin. In addition, in areas of platform net, beach seine, and fishing fishing, they may be called by other names, such as Amikata-byakusho, depending on the presence or absence and number of nets and fishing boats. In any case, they generally refer to members of early modern fishing villages and farmers who pay fishing taxes and can exercise the right to occupy and use the fishing grounds adjacent to their land, and correspond to hon-byakusho registered in land survey books in rural areas. In fact, many early modern fishing villages were separated from coastal rural villages after the establishment of the Goson system in the early modern period.

Japanese:

漁村における本百姓。浜方百姓，浦方百姓，浜者などという表現も本漁師を指すことが多い。そのほかにも，例えば網方百姓というように，台網，地引網，釣漁業地域では網や漁舟の有無･多寡によって別の名称で呼ばれている場合もある。ともあれ一般的には近世漁村の構成員で，かつ地先漁場の占有利用権を行使できる漁業年貢負担農民をいい，農村において検地帳に登録された本百姓にあたる。そもそも近世漁村には郷村制の成立した近世初期以降，臨海農村から分離した村が多い。
