The writer has investigated the distribution of bicycle manufacturing plants in Japan and inquired into the reason for their localization. The result are as follows:<br> 1. There are 1574 bicycle-manufaturing plants in Japan now. The number being very large, these plants are very small in scale, having an averasge of only 16 workers in each plant.<br> 2. Factors determining the localization of the plants mostly depend upon wholesalers (SEIZO-OROSHI) having an overwhelming power over the plants. Therefore almost all of the plants are concentrated in three wholesale market areas……Tokyo (31%), Osaka (30%), and Nagoya (14%), ……places where transportation of products is convenient to wholesalers. But in each area, the area where the plants are located is not at all the same as the area of wholesalers, except in the case of Nagoya.<br> 3. In Tokyo, Arakawa is the most concentrated district in the area, with about 46% of the plants, a much large number than in Taito district (16%), the center of the Tokyo wholesale area. The reason for this concentration derives from the supply of cheap labor and many subcontracted works in this district. In the Osaka area, the core of distrubution has been thriving at Sakai city from the beginning……about 65% of the plants being located in this district, and scarecely any part of Japan shows such a dense distribution of plants. Only 30% of them are distributed through the southeastern parts of Osaka city……the wholesale district of the area.<br> Sakai city was the only district where many technical experts as blacksmiths and gunsmiths had been in operatian from ancient times, which led to the foundation of the plants in this district. In recent time the most importanc factor of this district lies in the cheap labor enabling low cost production, and the second factor is the abundance of subcontracted works there.
