Land division - Warichijiwari

Japanese: 割地・地割 - わりちじわり
Land division - Warichijiwari
The term "chiwari" generally means simply dividing and allocating land in a planned and artificial manner. In Japan, this is the result of the implementation of the jori system during the ancient land allotment system, and the grid system within Heijo-kyo and Heian-kyo, and since the Meiji period, each plot of land has been assigned a land character and a land number. On the other hand, the "chiwari" and "chiwari" mentioned here refers to the periodic land allocation system (the practice of reallocating land to farmers at regular intervals) that was a land system during the Edo period. This was practiced in various places, including Kaga, Noto, Echizen, Etchu, Echigo, Shinano, Owari, Ise, Tango, Hitachi, Iwashiro, Tosa, Iyo, Bungo, Chikuzen, Hizen, Hyuga, Satsuma, Iki, Tsushima, and Ryukyu.
