Abstract
By surveying village Sinto architecture with historical plaques of Simousa fief once a part of Chiba-ken, we can find out the activities of the sculptors represented as Takeda Juzaburo in the late Edo period. We are able to draw out our results by examining the materials as follows; Four sculptors named Takeda Juzaburo once lived in Yuuki, near the northern part of Kanto area, where some shrines have an extreme amount of wood-curving. They had spread the use of large amounts of wood-curving in shrines in the fief, and carved onto not only the panels used as decorative transoms but also entire wooden walls of shrine from 1806 to 1822.
