Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kokudaka refers to a system for determining land value for tribute purposes in Edo period Japan and expressing this value in koku of rice. This tribute was no longer a percentage of the actual quantity of rice harvested, but was assessed based on the quality and size of the land. The system was used to value the incomes of daimyo, or feudal rulers, as well as to value the homes and fields of landowners. This meant that a survey had to be made of all land-ownership and titles drawn up, creating a new class of landowners. Land was no longer held in the control of the daimyo.
