Generations of Mitsui Family Treasures November 14, 2015 - January 23, 2016 【List of Exhibits】 Special Exhibition II Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Mitsui Bunko and the 10th Anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum Generations of Mitsui Family Treasures November 14, 2015 - January 23, 2016 【List of Exhibits】 The year 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Mitsui Bunko a Public Interest Incorporated Foundation, which was established as such on May 14, 1965 in Kamitakada, Nakano-ku, Tokyo. Th is year also marks the 10th anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum, which saw the transfer of the Foundation’s Museum from its original site in the Mitsui Bunko Bekkan to the 7th floor of the Mitsui Main Building in Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, on October 8, 2005. To commemorate this noteworthy year, two special exhibitions are scheduled to be held at the museum, one in the spring and another during the year end/New Year’s season. The spring event was the Special Exhibition I Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Mitsui Bunko and the 10th Anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum – Mitsui Culture and History, with the first half of the exhibition featuring tea ceremonyrelated masterpieces, and the second half subtitled 350 Years of Mitsui: Highlights from Japan’s Premier Collection of Business Records. It now gives us great pleasure to present Special Exhibition II Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Mitsui Bunko and the 10th Anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum – Generations of Mitsui Family Treasures. This exhibition focuses on the Museum’s holdings that have been designated National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties, displayed alongside major works that were formerly in the Mitsui collections and are now in other public and private collections, comprising a comprehensive display of treasures handed down through generations of the Mitsui family. In addition to the publication of a new edition of the Museum’s holdings, Generations of Mitsui Family Treasures: Masterpieces from the Mitsui Memorial Museum Collection, we have also prepared Generations of Mitsui Family Treasures: Supplemental Volume, a volume featuring images of works lent by other collections that were formerly in the Mitsui family collection along with expository essays. We hope that these two volumes will provide readers with a complete sense of the cultural heritage of Mitsui family as handed down through the centuries. ※ “S” for Cat.No. refers to Supplemental Volume. 【List of Exhibits】 ※ NT = National Treasure ICP = Important Cultural Property Room 1 IAO = Important Art Object Cat.

  • The Wealth of Zaibatsu Owner Families: the Impact of Zaibatsu Busting in Occupied Japan
    Vol. 6, No. 1 (20 21) ■ ISSN 2169-0820 (Online) ■ DOI 10.5195/shashi.2021.48 ■ http://shashi.pitt.edu The Wealth of Zaibatsu Owner Families: The Impact of Zaibatsu Busting in Occupied Japan Steven Ericson Dartmouth College Abstract Contrary to widely accepted views, the former zaibatsu owner families, despite the drastic reduction in their enormous wealth, emerged from the U.S. Occupation with relatively sizable assets. The Holding Company Liquidation Commission, the Japanese agency that at the direction of Occupation Headquarters (GHQ) seized stocks that the zaibatsu families had held either directly or through their holding companies, worked to protect the families, especially by convincing GHQ to switch compensation from nonnegotiable bonds to cash. Furthermore, in the sale of stocks, the policy of giving purchase priority to zaibatsu company employees appears to have made it possible in some cases for the families to buy back shares and regain control over their former enterprises after 1952. As it turned out, the confiscatory measure was not so much the appropriation of the families’ assets under the GHQ-mandated dissolution of the combines as it was the Japanese government’s own punitive capital levy. Mitsui Takanaga, who graduated from Dartmouth College in 1915,1 was heading one of the eleven Mitsui families when the U.S. occupation of Japan officially began at the end of August 1945. As such, Takanaga would find himself on the list of 56 zaibatsu family members designated in March 1947 by the Holding Company Liquidation Commission (HCLC), the Japanese body that carried out Occupation directives to break up the zaibatsu combines and big companies.

    “RESTORING OUR COMMERCIAL RIGHTS”: SILK, NATIONALISM, COMMERCIAL POLICY, AND THE DIRECT TRADE MOVEMENT IN MEIJI JAPAN, 1868-1890 Michael Brady Smith A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: W. Miles Fletcher Daniel Botsman Peter Coclanis Simon Partner Benjamin Waterhouse ©2012 Michael Brady Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL BRADY SMITH: “Restoring our Commercial Rights”: silk, nationalism, commercial policy, and the direct trade movement in Meiji Japan, 1868-1890. (Under the direction of W. Miles Fletcher) In 1858 Japan responded to demands from Western governments to remove restrictions on trading with foreigners by signing a series of trade treaties which opened up a number of Japanese ports to unrestricted foreign trade. After these ports were opened, Western mercantile firms armed with intimate knowledge of world markets and ready access to capital quickly became the dominant force in Japan’s overseas trade. When the new Meiji government assumed power in 1868, government officials, businessmen, and intellectuals who feared foreign domination of Japan’s overseas trade, began a concerted campaign to challenge the dominance of foreign merchants in Japan’s treaty ports and reclaim Japanese “commercial rights” (shōken) through the promotion “direct trade” (jiki yushutsu). Despite vigorous efforts to promote direct trade which culminated

Morck, editor Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-53680-7 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/morc05-1 Conference Date: June 21-22, 2003 Publication Date: November 2005 Title: A Frog in a Well Knows Nothing of the Ocean: A History of Corporate Ownership in Japan Author: Randall Morck, Masao Nakamura URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c10274 7 A Frog in a Well Knows Nothing of the Ocean A History of Corporate Ownership in Japan Randall K. Morck and Masao Nakamura 7.1 Introduction An ancient Japanese proverb speaks of a frog prideful of the beauty at the bottom of his well and ignorant of the world beyond. The history of Japanese corporate governance is especially interesting because the Japan- ese literally searched the world for the best institutions of capitalism, and changed their institutions more radically and more often than in any other major industrial economy. These changes, and the associated successes and failures associated, illuminate fundamental issues of corporate gover- nance, corporate control, and the economics of institutions. Historical and contemporary research into corporate ownership in Japan both focus on intercorporate networks.
