In the period following the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the power loom was widely introduced into Banshu, part of Hyogo Prefecture. The Okada family, typical Banshu cloth producers, started to operate a factory in 1907. They produced cottn stripes(tatejima) in the factory, using power looms, and cotton checks(Roshijima) according to a putting-out system. Putting-out allowed flexibility when demand fluctuated. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between fluctuations in demand and the production of cotton stripes in the Okada factory. Factory production of cottn stripes in a was very similar to the control of cotton checks produced by putting-out. The factory seemed to function almost as a centralized workshop for household workers. In fact, the factory girls who were engaged in weaving cotton stripes had family commitments which prevented them from going to the factory every day. The employment situation of factory girls like this was rational in the sense that the production of cotton stripes in the factory was sufficient to meet demand when combined with the amounts produced by putting-out.
