| Abstract | Recently, more Japanese sites are being registered as World Heritage sites; awareness of landscape conservation is increasing. Some projects aim to recreate pre-modern rice-growing landscapes. However..., few know that some regions in Japan used to have landscapes where Indica rice was grown and threshed by beating with a wooden pail or the threshing platforms. This is because there have been very few studies on the history of rice growing in Japan. I reviewed historical rice-threshing methods in Japan, and found that threshing-by-beating was used in daito-mai-growing areas. Particularly in Fukuoka Prefecture, regional historical materials, including shikikousakuzu-ema（votive wooden tablets with paintings of agricultural scenes), indicated that threshing-by-beating was a very common rice-threshing method in the area along the Chikugo River in the Kurume Domain up through the 19th Century. Unlike in the Chikuzen area, growing daito-mai was encouraged in the Chikugo area of the Kurume Domain, where daito-mai was used for welfare, subsidies, and incentives, including relief food for poor peasants and townspeople. Daito-mai was grown in farming villages and paid as land tax. The threshing-by-beating method in the Chikugo area used threshing platforms, upon which rice was beaten. A threshing platform was surrounded by curtains of mushiro（ rice straw mat） which prevented the unhulled rice from scattering. The threshing-by-beating was usually performed by male peasants.show more |
