The purpose of this paper is to examine the development of a domestic market for the cotton-weaving industry of the Chita region of central Japan. Special attention will be paid to the role of local merchants. The paper makes two main points: First, Takita Shoten, which was a local wholesaler, is an example of a firm which reorganized its traditional trade system by bringing about changes in the cotton yarn and textile merchants which were its clients. Second, the Chitagun Shiromomen Dogyo Kumiai (Chita Association of Cotton-cloth Traders), an association established by the principal merchants of the Chita region in 1902, made a large contribution to the development of the local cotton-weaving industry, in terms of controls on entry, inspections of product quality, and the regulation of output. In short, the development of the domestic market for cotton woven in Chita was dependent on the activities of local merchants.
