Textile Industry
A steady rise in foreign demand, especially in the United States ensured
that silk production in Japan continued to expand.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Commercial Affairs bought spinning
machine from England. Constructed and operated factories in order to
help spread the spinning industries. Later on the factories were sold to
the private sector.
Victory over China in 1895, had given a privileged access to the Chinese
and Korean markets then contributed to a phase of export-led growth.
Japanese silk exportation became twice than China, her closest
competitor. The production was three times that of Italy, and much
greater than France.
For a long time about 75 % bulk of the raw silk was exported, but as the
number of factories increased, Japan steadily increased the proportion of
the raw product transformed at home.
Textiles in Japans economic development is indicated by the fact that in
1930, textiles industries had contributed about 36 per cent of countrys
industrial revenue.

Conclusion
Japan economic shows a fluctuations in growth
throughout the year 1900 until 1941. The ups and
downs in the pre-1940 economy were, to a degree
stimulated by events in the global economy. For
instance, the economic growth between 1915 and
the 1920s was fueled at least in part by surge in
European orders WW1 and by the economic boom
that followed. The subsequent decline shared the
effect of the great depression on Japan. The spurt
in the late 1930s was caused largely by the
stepped-up production in preparation for WW2.
