Abstract

Osaka B?seki Kaisha (Osaka Spinning Company; hereinafter "Osaka B?seki), founded by Shibusawa Eiichi and several others in Sangen'ya Village, Nishinari District, Osaka Prefecture, in May 1882, was a pioneering presence in Japan's modern spinning industry. Researchers have studied the mill's architecture through analyses of drawings and plans, but details surrounding several parts of the design have remained largely unclear. Drawings and images depicting the mill's architecture prior to a fire in December 1892 have remained in relative obscurity, making that segment of the mill history particularly difficult to pin down. This paper introduces new resources on that gap in the existing scholarship's coverage and probes the materials to delineate the architecture of Mill No. 1 in clearer detail.
