Tensions of Making and the Art of Breaking:

Putting Salt Fields to Rest in 19th century Japan

a virtual u:japan lecture by Aleksandra Kobiljski | CNRS


,

Online Event


| Abstract |

 

Drawing on a preliminary reading of The Secrets of Salt Making 塩製秘録, an 1816 salt-making manual by a little-known Japanese salt-maker Miura Genzô 三浦源蔵 (?-1835), this lecture seeks to address the change in production dynamics in the Seto Inland Sea region in the first half of the 19th century. In so doing, this talk contributes to the rethinking of the nature of Japan's early industry and conceptualization of profit.
