Definition

  • Japanese industrialist A widely known pioneer of Japanese industrialization, Shibusawa Eiichi organized, supported, and/or promoted an astonishing five hundred enterprises during the Meiji period (1868–1912) of Japan. Born in the farming village of Chiaraijima, northwest of present-day Tokyo, to a comparatively wealthy farming family who were involved in the production and distribution of indigo, silkworm cultivation, and other products, Shibusawa was better educated than average farm youths.
