Hyomotsu (marine products), important commodities exported under the monopolistic collecting system in the Tokugawa period, were still one of the chief exports in the early Meiji period. As to exporting ports, Hakodate that exported Hyomotsu most in the late Tokugawa period declined, and Yokohama was the center of trade in the early years of the Meiji period. The most important problem of export trade policy in the early Meiji period was to recover commercial rights which had been monopolized by the great Powers since the late Tokugawa period. The Meiji government adopted the direct trade policy and hyomotsu was exported on this policy from the 9th year of Meiji (1876). The export of Hyomotsu took an important place in the direct trade policy. By illustrating the case of the Kogyo Company in Hokkaido, the writer tries to show the point. As the Kogyo Company exported coarse articles, it was dissolved in the 18 th year of Meiji (1885). The Government held the first exhibition of marine products to solve this problem, and technical improvements were made afterward. Studies on marine products for export in the Meiji period have been few. The writer shows that the exports increased continuously after the mid-Meiji period and that the export of Hyomotsu played an important part in the export trade in the Meiji period.
