There is very little on-line information on Japanese economic history (or else it is in Japanese and we cannot access it). For some additional information visit our: Economic History of South East Asia Site . You may also wish to visit our Business History Site and select Japan and Korea. All the information here is arranged in rough chronological order, ending with some link sites that we found useful.
