Abstract By studying this collection of provisions we can understand three new points. The initial point is that this is the first time forest planning for individual regions within the has been mentioned. For example, because there are no areas of somayama (government-administered forest) in Agunijima, Tonakijima and Iejima the timber requirements of these regions has to be covered using forest resources from the Kunigami and Nakagami districts of Okinawa Island. In contrast, because Iheyajima, Kumejima and Keramajima do have areas of somayama they can be entirely self-sufficient in terms of their timber requirements. In the case ofMiyakojima, somayama will have to be developed there in order that it can eventually be self-sufficient in terms of timber. The second point is that looking at the case of Miyakojima we can see that there was an extensive system of timber distribution in effect. For example, when a ship was to be built in Miyakojima it was necessary to travel to Yaeyama in order to get the required timber. Additionally, in the case of lumber required for house construction it was necessary for Miyako to purchase timber from Yaeyama or from Okinawa Island. The most expensive lumber was that purchased at high cost from local Ryukyuan maaransen or from Yamatobune out of Kagoshima. If one were to make a conjecture based on the contents of the document it would appear that by this time on Miyakojima there was already in place a system very much like a timber market with lumber transported to the islands by ship from locations within the kingdom and beyond. The third point relates to the shift in the size of the population of Ryukyu. While in earlier times there were perhaps 70,000-80,000 inhabitants, by the time Sai On had become a sanshikan (member of the Council of Three) in 1728 the population had increased to 200,000. This population increase, along with the need for timber to build palaces at Shuri Castle or to build Chinese-style ships greatly increased the demand for wood. It is thought that this increased demand for timber was a major factor in determining the development of effective conservation and administration policies for the forest resources ofRyukyu.

With the deterioration of the proper field cultivation practices and as long as people toil away to somayama and the lack of large trees, however, we are forced to secure their livelihoods. In the case of trees, however, the situation rely on the Satsuma domain 17 in order to acquire such timber. This is entirely different from agricultural crops. Without several decades of growth timber will not be fit for use. In terms of timber from large trees, in particular, if 70-80 years or even I 00 years is obliged to contribute a certain amount of lumber for Royal not allowed for proper growth the wood will not be fit for use as Government use on a yearly basis as a form of forest tax.

Details included tree types, locations of specific tree for the planting of government-administered forests, how to grow, types and tree trunk measurements.

Miyakojima Article 8 No proper assessment of the location and extent of mountain areas appropriate for forest planting in Miyakojima had ever been Yaeyamajima carried out However, there are substantial expanses of the island covered with Susuki Grass. We have now classified the extent of The current population of Yaeyama is small and the area of mountains on Miyakojima and have put great efforts into mountain substantial. As such, this amount of mountain can cover developing somayama at appropriate locations. If we are able to local timber requirements and in particular ensure that there will be successfully plant and grow somayama here it will be possible to no timber shortage. Somayama is currently only found in the build ships, construct houses and other buildings on Miyakojima Kunigami and Nakagami districts of Okinawa Island, but the without the need to rely on other places for wood. In terms of number of requests for goyouboku are many and the population shipbuilding, however, vessels are currently made from lumber density there is extremely high. Additionally, because these ordered and acquired from Yaeyamajima. It is also the case that districts must cover the timber needs of islands such as Agunijima, lumber for house construction is purchased from Yaeyamajima, Tonakijima and Iejima the possibility that somayama of Kunigami 23 from Okinawa Island or even at high cost from Yamatobune or and Nakagami may not alone be able to meet these requirements is 24 maaransen. The result is that spending has greatly increased and extremely worrying. Fortunately, given the expansive area of this constitutes a considerable financial loss for Miyakojima. In the somayama now being developed in Yaeyamajima, in the years final analysis this situation exists precisely because Miyakojima ahead this will become an area that can supplement the somayama has no somayama. For this reason, new regulations have been put of Okinawa Island in terms of supplying timber. Accordingly, it is in place instructing in detail how to develop somayama. ordered that great effort be put into the specific task of cultivating somayama in Yaeyamajima. mJI..ll: - Jl..:i:U-1. ~1'JIJU-Jttll:JJ~1il::#-cl'iJI:tr~,~k*Elf£Prl~t*1'*~~:tt~1lj~ ~-~~•-Am~ ~U-J5:JIJ-cm•!?£~1'***'::~•f£Prl~t1'* kO)~iYJ~ • ..:t=~M~O)·Jl:1rlf!L-#~-cib~O)~, .:CO) i7'1~1r+)t!;:IJ.:fWL--c, 8!lil¥1::t*R~~~~' J:: 1?-JI, tJIJ UJO)~~~g~,*7k<00fflO)t;f*~Wllll¥~~~J::?~Jfil­ rl~~~ ~ 0), l:il>G0)~1fllfl~ib~.
