Abstract

<p>With the start of the Meiji ear, the social systems of western countries were imported in to Japan, and industries supporting the systems were born. The paper industry was one of them and tried to produce printing paper for letter press printing and paperboard for paper cartons that would help the distribution of goods.</p><p>As the market of carton grew to about 4,000 tons in 1886, using imported paperboard, a Fourdrinr machine which was of the modern specifications of that time was imported and installed to supply paperboard domestically, using rice straw pulp. As the market was promising and rice straw was abundant in Japan, entrepreneurs in local districts got in to the business. Starting from Tokyo, Osaka and Shizuoka, the business spread to Okayama, Niigata, Hokuriku, Gunma, Saga and so on, as a typical local industry, and became a boom in the 1930s. Domestic machine builders, which were already capable enough, delivered numbers of cylinder machines. The shift of pulp from straw to waste paper is supposed to have begun after 1930.</p><p>Corrugated containers started to be served in the 1930s, though it could not be a major player before the World War II.</p><p>The statistics for paperboard production were available since 1914, and its share in the total paper and paperboard production remained about 30–40％，and is now about 45%.</p>
