Contending that Japan’s industrial and imperial revolutions were also geographical revolutions, this interdisciplinary study analyzes the changing spatial order of the countryside in early modern Japan. Its focus, the Ina Valley, served as a gateway to the mountainous interior of central Japan. Using methods drawn from historical geography and economic development, Wigen maps the valley’s changes from a region of small settlements linked in an autonomous economic zone, to its transformation into a peripheral part of the global silk trade, dependent on the state. Yet the processes that brought these changes – industrial growth and political centralization – were crucial to Japan’s rise to imperial power.
