Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the characteristic of the formation process of the company housing of the headquarters and main factory of GUNZE Raw Silk Mfg. Co., Ltd.: Several years after the foundation of the company, a row house partitioned into nine was built as first company housing. As the president of the company was Christian, his religions beliefs were incorporated into the management of the enterprise and were reflected in the kind of housing. Company housing was made as needed in proximity to each factory. When the company grew into a large enterprise, the company houses were built in 4 areas and divided to reflect the hierarchy. After the war, the old factory was turned into housing for employees. The company continued to supply housing that was in walking distance from factory.
