	Administration and conflict managment in Japanese coastal fisheries
		During the feudal era, or Edo Period (1603–1867 A.D.), all sectors of Japanese society were strictly controlled and carefully organized according to a rigidly hierarchical system.
		During the feudal era one characteristic of present day coastal fisheries was paramount -- and even at that time it must have been based on precedents in customary usage -- and that was the noteable lack of nationwide uniformity in the definition of coastal fisheries and their regulatory procedures.
		Feudal era documentation of fisheries is far from complete for any part of Japan, and that which is available rarely mentions intra-community conditions, largely because they were not recorded by fief officials, who left villagers responsible for village affairs.
