Abstract: This study aims to elucidate the spatial relationships between banks—which functioned as financial pumps circulating capital into various industries—and administrative boundaries or natural geographic features, and to examine how their distribution related to the spatial structure of industrial clusters. The authors analysed the development of industrial clusters in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, indicating that the locations of early financial institutions served as important indicators reflecting the realities of regional economic activities and their networks.
