- Abstract
Kanji Ishii suggested that sericulture arose autonomously in the Kansai region after the 1900s. This paper presents a counterview, arguing that sericulture developed in the region through organized efforts to establish necessary and beneficial regulations. Sericulturists in Kansai and other economically struggling regions campaigned for regulations to improve the practice of sericulture, such as the increased scrutiny of silkworm-egg cards and strengthening of professional sericulture associations. Their efforts merged into Masana Maeda's campaign for economic development during the period, which ultimately succeeded in 1897. In addition, sericulturists in the Kansai region petitioned successfully to export silk yarns from Kobe Port. Regulations introduced as a result of this campaign enabled Kansai sericulture to produce high quality silk yarns. For example, silkworm-egg cards were improved and the economic rationalization of sericulture associations assured Kansai filatures a reliable source of cocoons locally.
