The lords established various regulations for farmers in order to sustain the regime. The Kawagoe domain established “Gunkata-jōmoku” that prescribe compliance with the bakufu laws, delivery of Nengu, prohibition of violence and gambling, and so on. The Gonin-gumi (the five-household group) system encouraged mutual aid and mutual surveillance.
Northwestern outskirts of Edo including Fujimi city area was Takaba (falconry hunting ground) for the Owari domain. Officials of the Torimi-jinfya (outpost) mobilize farmers and regulate their daily lives punctiliously.
