Tetsudai performed a variety of odd jobs on construction sites, from simple tasks such as cleaning up or carrying things to fairly skilled ones such as putting on p;aster. Their wages and standard of living were lower than those of other construction workers. This study examines the way in which tetsudai organized themselves. The fact that a relatively low-level group of urban workers like this actually formed an association during the Tokugawa period is not well known. The association was strengthened by confrontations with other groups, such as stonemasons and well-diggers, and by disputes with fellow tetsudai in rural areas. As a result of the activities of the association, tetsudai were able tu raise their social status and increase their independence.
