Kanegafuchi Spinning was one of the largest spinning company in Japan during early 1900s. The authors utilize the archival collection of Kanebo to shed new light on Kanebo’s factory management system. From the company’s internal document, we describe how Kanebo recruited new employees, how high the mobility of workers was, and how the productivities of factories differ.
