| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project is to promote positive analyzes on industrial development in Meiji era, in particular on indigenous industries which have little been discussed. In order to pursue this target, we have tried to collect new data and documentation as well as promoting analyzes of published data and primary documentation already collected.
In December 1994 we had the workshop entitled "the industrial development and regional economy in Japan : focussed on industrial district over Kobe and Osaka", by the support of the specialists in related academic fields like economic geography, political and technological history (the number of participants was twenty four). At the workshop various kinds of topics such as (1) the logic of formation and development of industrial districts, (2) characteristics of industrial district over Kobe and Osaka, (3) relationships between putting-out and factory systems, (4) significance of business climate and infrastructures for industrial development, were presented and discussed.
In addition to these activites, we continued to analyze directories of factories, and to accumulate data base on directories of wealthy people. Three books were published as a part of research results above mentioned. (1) Matao Miyamoto et al., Nihon Keieishi [Japanese Business History], Yuhikaku, 1995, (2) Matao Miyamoto and Takeshi Abe ed., Keieikakushin to Kohgyouka [Business Innovation and Industrialization], Iwanami Shoten, 1995, (3) Kohnosuke Odaka et al., ed., Nihon Keizai no 200 nen [Two Hundreds Years of Japanese Economy], Nihon Hyouronsha, 1996.
