Research Abstract

This study examines the management of coal mines during the wartime and post-war reconstruction period, focusing on the case of Tagawa Coal Mine. The results indicate that despite the extremely challenging conditions, Tagawa Coal Mine maintained a top-level coal production in the Chikuho region during the wartime and post-war reconstruction period. The factors contributing to this include a significant increase in labor force and a relatively high input of resources during the post-war reconstruction period. On the other hand, by the onset of the wartime period, the coal mine itself had become aging, resulting in a substantial decline in coal quality and production efficiency, falling below the average level in the Kyushu region. Reflecting these circumstances, the total cost of coal production at Tagawa Coal Mine increased, leading to accumulated losses during the post-war reconstruction period.
