Synopsis "Specialty Food, Market Culture, and Daily Life in Early Modern Japan: Regulating and Deregulating the Market in Edo, 1780-1870 (in English)"
This study examines early modern Japanese society through the lens of food and foodways. The author demonstrates how food empowered peasants, fisherfolks, and ordinary merchants to repeatedly challenge the established regulations for food trade and distribution.
