    It is well known that Yasuda Zenjiro, founder of the Yasuda Zaibatsu, obtained a large amount of money from the Yasuda Shoten (Yasuda & Co.) during the early Meiji period, and this served as a first step in the formation of the fourth largest zaibatsu business combine. Neverthless, the business activities of the early Yasudas' enterprise as well as the process of capital accumulation have not been studied by any economic or business historians. Such a common assertion as “Yasuda built up a great fortune by speculation in Dajokan bills” does not seem to be verifiable.
    Based on the analysis of original records of the Yasuda Shoten, including accounting books, the main parts of this paper will clarify the nature of a wide variety of the business activities of Yasuda, such as real estate, retail selling of dry goods and banking, and examine the process of capital accumulation in the Yasuda businesses in detail.

    In 1934 Nippon Steel Co., the biggest iron and steel business at that time, was organized through the fusion of a state-owned enterprise (Yawata Iron Works) and six private enterprises. We shall study the background and the process of the fusion to make clear its implication for the development of the Japanese iron and steel industry.
    Our conclusions are as follows. Firstly, integrated production of iron and steel was not more profitable than discononected operation owing to the low price of steel scrap or pig iron and the high price of coal before 1932. However, after 1932 a fall in the exchange value of the yen changed this relation of raw material prices, which made integrated production more profitable than separate production.
    Secondly, the fusion plan made in 1930-31 lacked rational ground, .for the planned new enterprise, which was directed to expand integrated operations, would not contribute to reducing average costs in the iron and steel industry because of economic conditions before 1932, and would produce no commercial profit during the Showa Depression.
    Thirdly, on the other hand, the fusion plan made in 1932-33 had rational ground. The planned new enterprise would not only show a commercial profit but also was necessary to check the rise of average costs. For although integrated production would become more profitable as aforesaid, both Yawata Iron Works and the enterprises affiliated with the zaibatsu had financial difficulty in expanding it. The direct function of the fusion should be understood to solve that difficulty.
