PASSAGE 6
In the eighteenth century, Japan's feudal overlords, from the shogun to the humblest samurai, found themselves under financial stress. In part, this stress can be attributed to
5)
        the overlords' failure to adjust to a rapidly ex-panding economy, but the stress was also due to factors beyond the overlords' control. Concen-tration of the samurai in castle-towns had acted as a stimulus to trade. Commercial efficiency, in
10) turn, had put temptations in the way of buyers.Since most samurai had been reduced to idlenessby years of peace, encouraged to engage in scholarship and martial exercises or to perform administrative tasks that took little time, it is
15)
        not surprising that their tastes and habits grew expensive. Overlords' income, despite the in-crease in rice production among their tenant farmers, failed to keep pace with their expenses.Although shortfalls in overlords' income re-
20)
        sulted almost as much from laxity among their tax collectors
the nearly inevitable outcome of hereditary officeholding) as from their higher standards of living, a misfortune like a fire or flood, bringing an increase in expenses or a drop
25) in revenue, could put a domain in debt to the city rice-brokers who handled its finances. Once in debt, neither the individual samurai nor the shogun himself found it easy to recover.
* It was difficult for individual samurai over-
30)lords to increase their income because the amount of rice that farmers could be made to pay in taxes was not unlimited, and since the in- come of Japan's central government consisted in part of taxes collected by the shogun from his
35) huge domain, the government too was con- strained. Therefore, the Tokugawa shoguns began to look to other sources for revenue. Cash profits from government-owned mines were already on the decline because the most
40) easily worked deposits of silver and gold had been exhausted, although debasement of the coinage had compensated for the loss. Opening up new farmland was a possibility, but most of what was suitable had already been exploited
45) and further reclamation was technically unfeasi- ble. Direct taxation of the samurai themselves would be politically dangerous. This left the shoguns only commerce as a potential source of government income.
50) * Most of the country's wealth, or so it seemed, was finding its way into the hands of city mer- chants. It appeared reasonable that they should contribute part of that revenue to ease the shogun's burden of financing the state. A means
55) of obtaining such revenue was soon found by levying forced ioans, known as goyo-kin; although these were not taxes in the strict sense, since they were irregular in timing and arbitrary in amount, they were high in yield. Unfortunately,
60)
        they pushed up prices. Thus, regrettably, the Tokugawa shoguns' search for solvency for the government made it increasingly difficult forindividual Japanese who lived on fixed stipends to make ends meet.
