This collection of fourteen key papers deriving from CEEJA's second
international conference exploring the Japanese history of
technology, concentrates on the routes to acquiring and
transmitting technical knowledge in Japan's modern era - from the
very earliest endeavours in establishing opportunities for
acquiring a technical education to the translation of foreign
textbooks and manuals. Published in two volumes and thematically
structured in three Parts, this wide-ranging work both complements
and expands on the subject-matter contained in the first volume
entitled Technical Knowledge in Early Modern Japan (2020).
This book explores the substantial and dynamic innovations of the
wartime era, identifying this period as the most influential for
Japan's post-war economic structure. Erich Pauer and a team of
leading Japanese and German scholars discuss important aspects of
the Japanese wartime economy, including: * ideological background *
the Japanese 'planned economy' * technical mobilization * women and
the war economy * socio-economic change * food shortages, the black
market and economic crime * national policy companies * financial
reforms
Japan's economic growth in the wake of the Second World War was
extraordinarily rapid. The August 1945 surrender is often taken as
starting point for studies of this growth, but it is now accepted
that a continous line of economic development may be traced from
the pre- to post-war periods. This book explores the innovations of
the war-time era, identifying this period as the most influential
for the country's post-war economic structure. The contributors
discuss important aspects of the Japanese war-time economy,
including: ideological background; the Japanese planned economy;
technical mobilization; women and the war economy; socio-economic
change; food shortages, the black market and economic crime;
national policy companies; and financial reforms
Drawing on the papers presented at CEEJA's* first international
conference addressing the long-neglected field relating to the
generation, dissemination and application of technical knowledge in
Japan from the Edo to the Meiji periods, this volume provides a
valuable selection of new research on the subject, from Hashimoto
Takehiko's detailed examination of Tanaka Hisashige's 'Myriad Year
Clock', Regine Mathias's paper on mining and smelting, and Erich
Pauer's overview of Japanese technical books in the pre-modern era,
to Suzuki Jun's detailed account of boiler-making in late
nineteenth-century Japan. * Centre Europeen d'Etudes Japonaises
