In addition to running a business, the Tanaka family rented the vast fields they owned in Fuito Village (currently Fuito-cho, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture) to tenant farmers, therefore the family was financially quite well-off.
田中家は商売以外にも冬頭村（ふいとむら、現岐阜県高山市冬頭町）に所有する広大な田畑を小作人に貸し与えており、経済的に恵まれた環境であった。
