Examines fertility and mortality patterns in japan during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, using village population data from which birth and death rates can be calculated. Provides an estimate of life expectancy using village population data and the West model life tables constructed by Coale and Demeny. Compares the findings of the analysis of the villages presented here with data collected on other villages in Tokugawa Japan and offers some hypotheses concerning some of the demographic patterns in Japan during the century or so prior to industrialization. Tabulates on village data sources: coverage and basic population data, crude birth and death rate averages (per thousand), age specific death rate averages, births by age group of mother, average age at marriage for women, estimated death rates based on survived sample populations and life expectancy estimates for Fujito and Nishikata.
