In this study, ten researchers studying tourism history and the history of railways――between which fields there has thus far been little proactive academic exchange――collaboratively investigated the perceived reciprocity between tourism and railways. On the basis of the research accomplishments of the ten researchers, it was decided that the investigation would focus on “prewar East Asia,” and in accordance with the plan the members carried out individual studies for the first two years.
In the final year, in accordance with the plan, a public symposium was held to review the research activities, and attempts were made to form links between individual studies. The symposium was divided into the sections “Tourism and Politics,” “Tourism and Railways,” and “Tourism and Overseas Territories.” It became clear that in prewar East Asia, tourism and railways developed in a mutually complementary way even as their unique characteristics intensified. -

Fake, imitation, and counterfeit goods have long plagued domestic and international trade. While we are all familiar with contemporary attempts to control the manufacture and sales of such goods, economic historians have given the subject little attention. This project focused on problems associated with imported everyday-use sundry goods (zakka in Japanese) and the role played by local production of imitations, the rise of markets for counterfeiting and shoddy goods, import substitution/export oriented industrialization and the development of labor intensive small scale industry, and the acceptance of "new products"in the recipient societies in 19th and 20th centuries Asia.

The purpose of this research is to clarify the change in intra-Asian trade order in the 1930s. Previous research pointed out that the free trade system in Asia was collapsed by the formation of the block economy or that of national economy in China. This research reconsidered this process by examining that how merchants, such as Japanese trading companies, European trading companies and Chinese overseas, dealt with the formation of national economy in China, focusing on the tariff policy and monopoly plan of sugar.This research revealed that the formation of national economy in China carried out smuggling and "special trade", so that it could not easily develop.

During the long 19th century from the late 18th century to the eve of the World War I, the world trade marked a watershed in terms of volume, value, and the variety of commodities, and the speed with which they moved. Focusing on the intra-Asian trade of agricultural products and light industrial goods, this project investigates the dynamics of trade expansion as well as its institutional backgrounds by applying new data (port-based trade statistics from the 18th to the 20th century in Asia), analytical framework (commodity-chain analysis), and analitical tool (visualization with GIS).
