From being an important centre which attracted a large number of
merchants during the feudal period, Shingu, on the northern shores
of Kyushu is today a suburb of Fukuoka City. Fishing is a
slowly-dying occupation and this volume analyses how the fishermen
adjust to changing circumstances. Although Japan is the largest
fishing nation in the world, when originally published this book
was the first to be published in English which focussed on the
composition and role performance of the crews and larger
net-groups. This analysis has been set in an historical
perspective, showing how the vertical structures during the
Tokugawa period have changed to more egalitarian structures where
much energy is spent to hinder the development of any new
hierarchy.
