The implementation of land tax reform in the early Meiji period provoked various types of confrontations, but the core problem was confrontation on the level of the government and the farmers. Previous studies have made it clear that such confrontations were caused by the high levels of the new land taxes and the forcible and authoritarian way in which they were imposed. However, little work has been done on the possible effects of the feuding between central and Iocal government which was occurring at this time. What form did this feuding take during the implementation of the reforms, and did it influence the reforms in any way? This paper focusses on the actions of the central government, local government and farmers during the implementation of land tax reform in the seven counties of Echizen (Fukui prefecture). The object is to demonstrate that confrontations existed simultaneously at all levels (central versus local government, central government versus farmers and local government versus farmers). In addition we will see that all these confrontations had an influence on the implementation of the Iand tax reform.
