The forest area was under the direct control of the Tokugawa Shogunate throughout the early modern Japan (1600-1868; the Edo period). Ohkawara- village (now Ohshika-village in Shimoina-gun, Nagano Prefecture) was in the area, which was on the West-side of Mt. Akaishi-dake (3120 m) and Mt. Arakawa-dake (3083 m). Nearly 5 million timbers, usually called Okureki (Kureki) which were cut into trapezoid cross-sections from the Sawara cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera), were harvested and carried out from the rich forests (usually called Okureki-yama, and/or Ohkawara-yama) in Ohkawara-village. The Sawara cypress in the forests were exhausted in about 150 years. In this paper I tried to estimate the number of Kureki-timbers and Sawara cypress trees logged in the Ohkawara-yama forests. The estimation is based on old documents about timber-logging from these forest areas. The number of the trees logged were at least about 320 thousand, which is a moderate estimate. The distribution of Sawara cypress, in a rather small area of the forests, was also described in another old document.}, pages = {1--30}, title = {信州大河原・鹿塩両村御槫木山の近世における林相 その3:槫木の原木サワラの分布とその採出}, volume = {11}, year = {2000} }
