説明

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of development, as well as restrictive conditions, of wealthy farmers' sericulture before World War II. "S" family was a sericultralist as well as a landowner who was the largest in Shimo-Ina District, and one of the largest in the country as a whole. With materials from this family, the paper is concerned chiefly with how changes in labour market conditions affected the sericulture's development and its subsequent decline. Changing agriculture in the interwar period led to an increase in middle acale farms in Kawaji village, Which in turn resulted in the decline of landlordism and also of wealthy farmers whose development had so far been on the employment of cheap labour. However, "S" family managed to keep its landholdings until the 1930s. Its sericulture also developed until the outbreak of World War I by employing cheap labour, but its advance became seriously limited by an increase in wage levels during the war boom which stayed relatively high in the 1920s. In the 1930s, the sericulture declined due to the Great Depression. Judging from this case study, therefore, it seems that one of the restrictive conditions for the advance of wealthy farmers' sericulture was the turbulent change that took place in the labour market caused by heavy industrialization of Japanese capitalism.
