After reviewing Denjibey Funatsu’s (c.1832-1898) “TeihaHou” (subsoil break) farming and double cropping system ideas for upland field during the Meiji period, it can be said to be a system for promoting “drought resistance, deep and intensive cultivation method” through the use of manual cultivation (do not deny the plowing by animal power), inter-cropping, deep cultivation (subsoil break at 4-5 years intervals) and double cropping.In the early Meiji period, Funatsu’s farming system thus helped establish more extensive cash crop cultivation. At the same time, his farming system intended to improve the relationship between the main winter crop - wheat and summer crops - upland rice, taros, potatos, sweet potatos, peanuts, eggplants, and so on, through double-cropping. This farming system contributed to the development of intensive small-scale farm management of a diversified crop rotation. And this type of farm management became dominant upland in the Kanto region until the High Growth period of the 1960s.It is said that during the latter part of the Meiji period the so-called “Meiji Farming System,” namely a “modern farming system” characterized by well-drained paddy fields and deep plowing by horse power, with heavy manuring and double cropping use of paddy field, was established. However, this understanding is biased towards paddy cultivation and lacked a proper understanding of the role of upland cultivation. Thus, an understanding of Funatsu’s farming system should be incorporated.
