- W13515148 abstract "After the opening of Japanese ports in the late Edo period, trade with Europe and America expanded. Timepieces entered the country along with other items. Over the course of the Meiji era, timepieces became the first Western consumer durable to take root in the daily life of ordinary Japanese. This point can be substantiated, as I will show in this paper, by the increase in the rate of diffusion of timepieces. Broadly speaking, the spread of timepieces was without a doubt a part of the process of Westernization referred to in Japan as civilization and enlightenment. Specifically, this meant that the use of modern Western technology became increasingly dominant within Japanese society, and goods produced using this technology grew in number. It cannot be said, however, that this process of Westernization was equally evident through out the society. A close look at this process reveals differences in the level and speed with which Western technologies and goods based on Western technology penetrated into Japanese society?differences which arose due to the technology itself as well as the nature of the products. The newly introduced systems rendered the old ones obsolete in areas subject to gov ernment spending, such as transportation and communications systems (e.g., railroads, shipping, and telephone and telegraph) and Western military infrastructure (including cannons and warships). Investments by companies in the new mining industry, too, brought about radical changes in production methods thanks to their use of imported machinery. Traditional economic history, however, has always emphasized this kind of dramatic change in investment goods, creating a mistaken impression that this type of Europeanization occurred at all levels of Japanese society. The situation with consumer goods was different. In terms of everyday life for the people?food, clothing, and shelter?Westernization proceeded at a much slower pace. Japanese material culture, which had matured through development of original technolo gies intimately tied to the climate and geography of Japan during the Edo period under the policy of national isolation, continued strong in daily life despite the changes brought by opening the borders, the Meiji Restoration, and finally the Industrial Revolution.1 At least through the Meiji and Taisho Periods, Japanese food, Japanese attire, and Japanese houses were the basis for everyday life, which meant that the prepon derance of household spending habits remained unchanged from the Edo period, and" @default.
