Japan’s modern Steel industry in 1901

 

Japanese industry at the end of 19th century was 200 years behind. 

After Mathew C Perry came to Japan in 1853, Japan’s industrial

Revolution was started.

Japan’s modern Steel industry was started as Yawata Steel Works 

at Higashida district in Kitakyushu in 1901. 

Since then, the Steel Works greatly contributed to Japan’s industrial modernization.

And Japan became the world’s leading industrialized country in only 100 years.
