過密都市・江戸が生んだ不動産投資「長屋経営」／太閤検地～江戸時代【土地の記憶：賃貸借】

In this video, we explore the concept of "leasehold rights"—an essential element in understanding the history of real estate. This episode focuses on "Nagaya (tenement) management," a form of real estate investment that flourished in Edo, a city of one million people. We explain how the Taiko Land Survey dismantled existing land control structures and gave rise to a sophisticated real estate leasing system that foreshadows modern practices. Breaking free from the complex land systems of the medieval era, Japanese real estate evolved along two distinct paths: "pledged-land tenancy" in rural areas and "Nagaya living" (rental housing) in cities. Why did the city of Edo require powerful "landlords" (*ooya*)? What are the origins of security deposits and rent? This is the second installment in the "Memories of the Land" series on leasehold rights, unraveling the story from historical, economic, and real estate perspectives. ▼ Watch Part 1 here!
