Outline Attractions Outline On 1 January 2005, Akabori, Azuma, and Sakai merged with Isesaki. Isesaki City has the size of 139.33 square kilometers which accounts for 2.2% of Gunma. It has a length of 13 kilometers and a width of 18 kilometers. It is located at the south of Mt. Akagi, and although the northern part is mountainous, most of the city is a plain. In the south Tone River which is fed by tributaries including Hirose and Kasu Rivers run through the city. The average temperature in Isesaki is 15.3 degrees Celsius and the annual rainfall is 1,200 millimeters. It is comparatively warm and has the least rainfall and the longest days in Gunma. In winter, it has "Joshu no Karakkaze "so called "Gale winds of Gunma". Isesaki has a number of kofun including “Chausuyama Kofun”. It indicates that powerful Japanese families were formed and systematic society was structured in early stage. Later on, Isesaki has developed as a weaving city; sericulture flourishes since long time ago as its volcanic ash land is appropriate for growing mulberry tree. It was well-known for the weaving center of coarse silk cloth in the Edo period. In the Meiji period, Isesaki Meisen silk cloth became nationally famous. In these days, it is a major industrial city due to its proximity to Kita-Kanto expressway and other major roads. Such a convenient location made it an ideal choice for manufacturing plants and shopping malls. The population of Isesaki increased to over 200,000 and became the fourth largest city in Gunma, after Takasaki, Maebashi and Ota. It also has the fourth largest household population of over 80,000 households. The population and the number of households continue growing and expanding the city.

  • The Case of Weaving Districts in the Meiji Japan1 Tomok
    On the Historical Process of the Institutionalizing Technical Education: The Case of Weaving Districts in the Meiji Japan1 Tomoko Hashino2 <Abstract> This paper explores the process of the institutionalizing technical education in modern Japan. In particular, this research attempts to elucidate why people in local weaving districts needed such educational institutions and how it is related with the introduction of western technology. This process is found to be much different from the government-led introduction of modern industries through establishment of technical high schools and universities to nurture engineers. In the case of traditional Japanese weaving districts, it was trade associations that voluntarily and actively established institutes for training, which were later supported by prefectural governments and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and finally institutionalized as public technical schools by the Ministry of Education. 1 The author is grateful Mataji Umemura and Hoshimi Uchida for fulfilling discussions in the early stages of this research. A previous version of this research benefited from a lot of comments of participants at the Kinki-Section of Socio-Economic Society, the national conference of Socio-Economic History Society and in a seminar at the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies, Bank of Japan. She also appreciates the valuable comments and suggestions by Keijiro Otsuka in the process of revising this paper. This research was partially supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, (C)19530308 and (A) 18203024. 2 Associate professor of business and economic history, Graduate School of Economics, Kobe University.
