= The Tokugawa peroid was a facinating time. It was a intence peroid for the Sumari and mechants. During the peroid the merchants would rise to be the head class and the sumari the lower class. Merchants made thier living by selling foods, friuts, and such to make money for thier family. Sumari didnt have to worry much about living payments because it was well taken care of. =

= In this picture merchants are making thier supper or breakfast to go on thier way to work. As you can see the merchants are cooking maybe soup, rice, or beans or something. they seem to be going to work or to go sell thier things to make money for them selves or for the family. It seemd to be during the late day or early in the morning. (top) = = = = = = (right) This picture seems to be merchants and sumaries.

= (bottom) Merchants carring sumuri across the river and from the river. merchants were used fro this kind of labor they were worked hard and during some point through the sumari peroid merchnats would be head of sumuri and they wouldbe carried by them after they lose power. Merchants did work hard to make a living either with thier family or without. =
