Sennan district in Osaka prefecture was one of the largest producing centers of cotton fabrics in pre-war Japan. The purpose of this paper is to analyze two interesting features of the cotton-weaving industry in Sennan. Firstly Sennan had held its very high growth rate prior to the other largest producing centers since 1920s. This high growth rate had been brought directly by the rapid expansion; of its export. However it had three more special conditions as follows; (1) It was located close to Osaka City. (2) It contained a number of large-scale factories. (3) It had the structure of circulation of money and commodity, which was, prior to the other districts, specially completed for the export of cotton fabrics. In the Inter-War period, the specific producing centers developed remarkably by laying emphasis on producing cotton fabrics for export. Three conditions, above mentioned, enabled Sennan to transform into the producing district for export and to develop highly in 1920s, when the other largest producing centers could not get out of depression. Since Sennan inclined to the foreign market, it had held very important position in the cotton-weaving industry since early 1920s. Secondly a number of large-scale factories were contained in Sennan compared to the other producing centers. Sennan began to produce gray cotton fabrics for export on a full scale in early 1920s, therefore the scale of factories in Sennan had to be relatively larger than in the other producing centers, where cotton fabrics for demestic consumption were principally produced. It was the enormous profits earned around the World War I that enabled Sennan to succeed in the large scale in early 1920s. However this feature seems to have been kept during the Inter-War period, because, compared to the other districts, the fund formation to hold and expand the scale of factories were promoted by the development led by export. The previous studies concluded that the cotton-weaving industry in the producing centers cannot possibly develop. Some specific districts, like Sennan, however, have developed and those view points should be carefully considered again.
