The ancient ? legal maxim works well enough when buyers can pick over goods to see their quality, but not for timber shipped to distant ports. Timber importers cannot inspect every piece in a shipload. When a single load is made up by several producers, which is the usual case, the consumer cannot relate defective pieces to particular producers even by inspection. Importers must depend on the reputation of an entire area for shipping high-quality timber. But how are producers to guard the reputation of their area against an unscrupulous few who ship bad timber? This age-old problem has led to inspection and grading systems operated sometimes by trade associations and sometimes by the state. This article is a case history of timber inspection in Australia's island state of Tasmania. The case is small and simple, but it illustrates both the usefulness and the limitations of state intervention in timber export.","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130911554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet urban demand for timber, Japanese lumbermen developed a complex provisioning system whose character changed as the centuries passed. Japanese lumber consumption developed in two distinct phases between 1580 and 1850. The first was a \"boom\" phase, from about 1580 to 1660, when the realm engaged in a vast amount of building. In part this boom entailed a nationwide surge in the construction of monumentscastles, palaces, mansions, temples, and shrines that was undertaken by a newly consolidated samurai ruling class. And in part it involved an equally widespread surge of urban construction, which dotted the realm with population centers ranging in size from the great cities of Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka, each with dwellings and business establishments for half a million souls, down to a large number of towns containing a few thousand residents apiece . The boom was followed by a \"maintenance\" phase from about 1660 to the mid-nineteenth century. During this phase society tried by ceaseless repair and replacement to maintain the urban structures produced earlier. Except in the capital city of Edo, whose population kept growing for another century, the maintenance phase added very little that was new and probably failed even to sustain either the quality or the scale of initial construction,'","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131290029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
