| Especially in areas that had few Satoyama in proportion to the number of habitants, the management of Satoyama was extremely strict and not so much as a bunch of grass or tree branch was allowed to be carried off without permission, and those who broke the rule were sometimes subject to fair punishment. |
特に住民の数に対して利用可能な里山が少ない地域では、里山の管理は厳重なものであり、許可されていない場合は草を一掴み刈り取ったり、木の枝を一本折るだけでも罰せられる場合すらあった。 |
