Between the Kanbun period[16611673]and the Genroku period[1668-1704], there was a shift of power in the society of the townspeople.

In addition, there has been a purge of corruption,They finally lose their competence in the townspeople's society.
In contrast, the development of the newly emerging commodity money economy has led to the modest merchants of wholesalers
and money changers have grown greatly.
At last, a man who has made a name for himself as an independent and self-reliant
who were able to become aware of their merchant backgrounds.
At the root of the spirit of these emerging merchants was the spiritual learning of Ishida Baigan.
