What is of interest is the gangs demonstrate remarkable activities but with the end of peasants'revolts they too abruptly disappear.In the present paper which consists of four parts, actuality of “Bashaku” gangs in ordinary times is examined historically and geographically in connection with land.In the lst Part (Introduction): what is “Bashaku” and what is interesting of it are explained.In the 2nd Part: Gangs'activities are reviewed chronologically and according to places where they showed. The active part played by “Bashaku Shudan” as the core of the peasant movement that evolved from appeal to organized revolt is described.In the 3rd part: The organization and functions of the “Bashaku” Gang are studied with examples of a few gangs in the suburban districts of Kyoto, i. e., Shimo-toba, Yoko-oji, and Fushimi.In the 4th Part (Conclusion): Substance of “Bashaku Shudan” is discussed and its organization and classes and ranks pertaining thereto are explained.
