How much did Japan invest in colonial chosen and Taiwan? We could not answer to this "simple" question in spite of the fact that the problem of colonialism has long been an integral part of the analysis of Japanese capitalism. The purpose of this paper is to give a provisional estimate of the above amount. Our estimates are composed of two parts : the amount of capital flows from Japan, and the amount of capital stock possessed by the Japanese in its colonies. We found that the latter was considerably greater then the former. which indicates that the wealth of the Japanese in colonial Chosen and Taiwan was largely obtained without the flows of capital from Japan. We try to explain this situation by exploitation and the reinvestment of colonial profits. Our conclusion will answer to the question : Why was it possible for Japan to export capital, while it struggled with the lack of capital initially? In the case of Japan, the capital export did not accompany the actual flows of capital into its colonies.
