Traditional Industry and Regional Economy : A Comparative Study on Oshima-tsumugi Industry and Yuki-tsumugi Industry

本研究旨在透过大岛津木产业与yuki津木产业的比较，厘清传统产业问题的根源。（每一个都是一种丝绸面料工业。）大岛tsumugi产业起源于奄美群岛，早在明治时代就开始兴起，后来蓬勃发展。另一方面，Yuki tsumugi产业起源于和围绕Yuki，兴起于江户时代晚期，成长于明治时代。这两个产业的形成取决于农场工人的过度饱和。过度饱和的根本原因是小农所有制和恶劣的自然条件造成的生产力低下。这些工业在农村作为家庭工业发展起来。许多农民把这个行业作为副业。在奄美群岛，相当多的农民制作了tsuugi产业的特种菜。从农村来了大量的廉价劳动力。资本主义企业在纳斯内部和周围成长起来。在Yuki-tsumugi工业中，工作的专业化并没有在其原始技术的基础上发生。丝线是用废茧手工纺成的。这种纺纱要花很多时间。所以需要大量的女性劳动力。

This study inteds to clarify the origin of the issues of traditional industry by the comparison of Oshima-tsumugi industry with Yuki-tsumugi industry. (Each of them is a kind of silk fabric industry.)1. Oshima-tsumugi industry originated in Amami Archipelagoes sprang up early in the Meiji Era and prospered afterwards. On the other side, Yuki-tsumugi industry originated in and around Yuki sprang up at the late Edo Era and growed in the Meiji Era. The formation of the two industries depends on the oversaturation of farm workers. The root cause of oversaturation was the low productivity which came from the small owenership and the poor natural conditions.2. These industries developed as home industries in farm villages. Many farmers worked in these industry as a sideline. In Amami Archipelagoes quite number of farmers made specialities of tsumugi industry. An abundant cheap laborers came from the farm village. And capitalistic enterprises grew up in and around Naze. In Yuki-tsumugi industry the specialization of job did not occur on the ground of it original technique. The silk thread is spun from waste cocoons by hand. This kind of spinning takes a lot of time. So it needs a large number of women's labor forces.
