This paper examines the postwar reform movements that aimed to organize sericultural cooperatives, particularly the establishment and management of all silkworm-raising cooperatives in Shimoina area, Nagano Prefecture. Few case studies have been made on this topic. I attempt to identify the characteristics of postwar agrarian society based on an analysis of the existing social and economic conditions of sericultural cooperatives and the cooperatives themselves. The movement to organize sericultural cooperatives in the Shimoina area was centered around Tenryusha, a silk-reeling cooperative. No less than 72 cooperatives were organized, but most of them were dissolved from 1949 to the middle of 1950s. This was caused by government regulation, the decline of the sericultural industry and, above all, the shift from sericultural cooperatives to general agricultural cooperatives in Tenryusha. But Shimohisakata Sericultural Cooperative continued to exist for an exceptionally long time. This is mainly attributed to the dependence of the area on the sericultural industry and the leadership of Naoto AOSHIMA, a sericulturist. I discuss the major role that he played as a typical technocrat in the postwar agrarian society.
