抄録

The main points of this paper are as follows: - 1. This paper aims to compare Western style mill erected in Keio years with local sugar manufacturing at Amami Oshima islands as an example of various architectural and technological analyses. 2. The local sugar manufacturing building and technology both in Edo and Meiji period at Amami Oshima islands was quite inferior to that of Western style mill in Keio years. 3. The sugar manufacturing at Amami Oshima islands accomplished technical development from Edo period to Meiji period, but the buildings and technology of Western style mill in Keio years was far apart from the technological development at Amami Oshima islands. 4. Because of no technological relation with the local manufacturing the Western style mill in Keio years seemed to be erected as a pilot project or test for the British merchants. 5. Probably the Western style mill erected in Keio years could be established in the cooperation of the Satsuma clan with the British merchants.
