The export of lacquer from China to Japan accounted for 80% of the total production, and was supported by the development of port areas that were led from the opening of river ports along the Chang Jiang. This paper tries to clarify the role of the merchants, using historical documents and deep interview data. The lacquer circulation relied on Chang Jiang basin basically and chose transit routes to as near ports as possible from each production region. Other than the influence of the transportation by ship, the location where the Jiangxi merchant purchased lacquer was rule factor. The formers tended to sell lacquer to places where many merchants purchase rather than convenient places to the waterway. Therefore distribution centers where a number of merchants gathered replaced production centers as lacquer brand names. Also, lacquer merchants’ skill meant a lot for the formation of brands. Lacquer merchants who could regulate the\ quality of lacquer well got big trust from Japanese merchants, and the brands of the distribution centers have become well-known. In other words, it is concluded the formation of lacquer distribution routes and brands were greatly influenced by the transport factors, but were also played the activities of merchants more important role.}, pages = {369--378}, title = {戦前期の日中貿易を通じた長江沿岸地域の生漆産地の形成}, volume = {13}, year = {2011} }
