Among the greatest obstacles in the postwar recovery of steel industry in Japan were counted the shortage of coal, the removal of subvention to the iron and steelprices and decentralization of large steel firms. A tragic atmosphere thus clouded was pushed away by the breakout of the Korean Incident (June 1950). Again the prices became enhanced. The export was extended and the production increased. Thence came a chance of modernization of iron and steel industry in Japan. The scheme of this plan that had been plotted by the Rationalization Council in the first half of 1951 was encouraged in the second half by establishment of Japan Development Bank, institution of special overeas credit by the Bank of Japan and the favorable development in Capital market. Capital development and production increase of steel firms in Japan was suceessively realized during the year of 1951. However, towards 1952 the period of reaction began so that an intensification of the sales competition gradually invited a drop in the steel prices, notwithstanding a temporary short boom due to a steel strike in the United States. In April 1952, the industrial control of the Occupation Forces ended and Japan was again allowed to enter an international economic circles. At this moment, owing to establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community, progress of modernization progress in several countries and recovery of the West-Germany iron and steel industry, the steel industry of Japan too was obliged to be entangled with the international contest. In 1953, the steel market again tended to a slight boom due to domestic investment and consumption but at the end of the same year decrease in both munition demands and steel export again occurred. Without finding domestic demands, the steel products of Japan began to flow out overseas. At this time happily owing to a shortage of steel export from Europe Japanese products filled the markets of South America and India and enjoyed higher prices. It was also evident at the end of 1954 that the iron and steel industry in Japan again inclined to an expansive production. After such historical introduction, the author described in detail (1) the process of rationalization and financing concerned ; (2) trends in the situations of raw materials for iron and steel ; (3) domestic market and export ; (4) some tendencies in special steels ; and (5) future prospects.
