The following three aspects of the stone industry in the Izu Peninsula were analyzed.
1. By collecting survey data on stone produced in the Izu Peninsula, we clarified the transition of surveys targeting the stone industry during the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras.
2. By categorizing these surveys, we clarified that they started as geological surveys, changed to architectural surveys, and then evolved into a survey targeting the entire country.
3. By using these survey data, we pointed out the possibility of clarifying the total production area of stone, the market share of stone, and the transportation methods for stone.
