Abstract: Abstract Cotton-spinning was the first modern factory industry to achieve a place of importance in Japan’s economy, and up to 1939 the cotton industry remained the outstanding example of her enterprise in large-scale manufacturing. The present paper, which was written in 1937, describes and analyses the changes in the industry’s structure, organisation and efficiency between 1929 and 1935–37. This was a critical period in the country’s economic history, and the experience of this industry epitomised, in many respects, that of her factory trades as a whole.
