Dōza (copper monopoly)

Dōza (copper monopoly)

was the Tokugawa shogunate's officially-sanctioned copper monopoly or copper guild ("za") [Jansen, Marius. (1995). [http://books.google.com/books?id=cY6GRGa2vPoC&pg=PA186&dq=Sakuji+bugy%C5%8D&client=firefox-a&sig=L8gfM1y6f6fnv2EYmHPE2-VeMZU#PPA186,M1 "Warrior Rule in Japan," p. 186,] citing John Whitney Hall. (1955). "Tanuma Okitsugu: Forerunner of Modern Japan." Cambridge: Harvard University Press.] which was created in 1636 [Schaede, Ulrike. (2000).

[Shimada, Ryuto. (2005). [http://books.google.com/books?id=nVIPPwVo8eAC&pg=PA181&dq=Dozan+copper&sig=fLvGweDDWp5UEUF9xqA-algQ_Eg#PPA51,M1 "The Intra-Asian Trade in Japanese Copper by the Dutch East India Company," p. 51.] ]

Initially, the Tokugawa shogunate was interested in assuring a consistent value in minted copper coins; and this led to the perceived need for attending to the supply of copper.

This "bakufu" title identifies a corporate entity with responsibility for supervising the minting of copper coins and for superintending all copper mines, copper mining and copper-extraction activities in Japan. [Hall, John Wesley. (1955) [http://books.google.com/books?id=x0WCAAAAIAAJ&q=kinzan+bugyo&dq=kinzan+bugyo&lr=&pgis=1 "Tanuma Okitsugu: Foreruner of Modern Japan," p. 201] ]
