„A welter on the staff of the Chue Skimpo bani- collec'ed a mass of interesting material about the bistory and the present condition of the esting account of the origin of the earliest spine cotton planing industry in Japan. His fater. stag factory establlabed la Kagoshima more than forty years ago by the greatest of feudal princes in modern time, Shimazu Harikisa, was reproduced in the columns of the Japan Mail on July 6th, 1895. The man among nobles turned his attention to this industry after the Satsuma Prince, was Mr. Kajlma Mambel of Teklo, whe set up a factory at Ój! In 1867, wblla the country was still disturbed by the war of the Restoration The machines were of the ring pattern, and the number of spindles was 720. The factory was called Oil Boseki-jp. This was the parent of the present Tokio Splaning Factory.
