In this historical and economic context, this paper aims to examine the historical and contemporary role of the textile industry in the economic development of Japan, and also to provide the basic analysis of the current process of restructuring taking place within the industries. Furthermore, the paper in the end explores certain strategic solutions for the survival and transformation of Japanese textile businesses, which are of four folds: (1) an increase in knowledge intensity and the enhancement of high technology manufacturing, (2) the expansion of global manufacturing and marketing operations, (3) diversification, particularly for the large enterprises, into non-fiber operations, and (4) organizational adjustments through mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances among the businesses in the textile chain. In the paper, the textile industry of Japan is examined in six parts. Following the introductory part, Part 2 examines the historic role of the textile industry in the economic development of Japan. Part 3 aims to investigate the transformation of textile businesses in Japan since World War II. Subsequently, Part 4 discusses why the textile businesses in Japan have faced the current depressed situation, while the other industries have survived and grown in a similat macroeconomic environment. Part 5 aims to revise the possible competitive strategies for the recovery and sustainable growth of the Japanese textile businesses. Finally, Part 6 concludes the paper with an analysis of the schemes for the revival of the textile businesses in Japan.
