Research Abstract

This research project has intended to clarify how Japanese rural society reacted to the industrialization or the modernization through investigating the migration process between villages and cities. The method was the systematic analysis of the village governing archives concerning migrations of its inhabitants. The archives we found - Kitakata city hall archives - were completely fitted to our purposes. We copied various books and papers in microfilm form, and also have input their information to the personal computer. Our efforts to make date bases of inhabitants' migrating activities have almost finished. The analysis of the migrating activities in post-war period - 1945-49 - were also almost completed. We found that the out-flow of the village inhabitants exceeded in-flow even in 1946. These facts indicate that the Japanese peasant households practiced their reproduction strategies even in the period of disorder such as the years immediately after the Second World War. These facts findings are favorable to the concept of indigenous economic development which we proposed localize the characteristics of Japanese industrialization. We are also ready to analyze the prewar period.
