520 | ▼aThis dissertation examines how Japanese people have perceived and addressed urban air pollution since the late nineteenth century. Contrary to current scholarship which considers anti-pollution activism as developing first in rural spaces or not until the late 1960s, this project argues that urban air pollution has been a major concern of various groups in Japan since the start of industrialization. It begins with the 1880s. Osaka, Japan's second-largest city and major industrial center, suffered from severe air pollution and, by the turn of the century, became known as the Capital of Smoke. Prefectural assemblymen and business leaders there separately launched Japan's first anti-smoke campaigns in the 1910s. They realized early on that industrial development caused harmful effects and mounted a surprisingly intensive effort to mitigate them. In the national capital too, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department used scientific knowledge and technologies to resolve the smoke problem for the residents. During the decade from the mid-1920s to mid-1930s, anti-smoke campaigners in Osaka and Tokyo adopted new strategies. Working with various people with practical knowledge of anti-smoke measures, Osaka's mayor Seki Hajime led a decade-long educational campaign to raise awareness for the importance of smoke mitigation. During his mayoralty, Osaka saw Japan's first major anti-smoke regulation. Coal smoke abatement was also important in Japan's colonial cities, and the employees of the South Manchuria Railway Company played a leading role in combating the smoke problem of Dalian in Northeast China. These efforts are heretofore unknown parts of empire building. Then, air pollution victims launched their own campaigns during the postwar period because, unlike the prewar period, no regulatory body was available for pollution control. The police department of the Home Ministry was dissolved after the Pacific War because the occupying forces considered the ministry as one source of Japan's authoritarianism. This dissertation explores the anti-air pollution movement in Nishiyodogawa, Osaka to describe how postwar pollution victims first negotiated with the local and national governments for the solution of poor air quality and, when this strategy failed, decided to publicly punish polluters through lawsuits.▲ | ||

This dissertation examines how Japanese people have perceived and addressed urban air pollution since the late nineteenth century. Contrary to current scholarship which considers anti-pollution activism as developing first in rural spaces or not until the late 1960s, this project argues that urban air pollution has been a major concern of various groups in Japan since the start of industrialization. It begins with the 1880s. Osaka, Japan's second-largest city and major industrial center, suffered from severe air pollution and, by the turn of the century, became known as the Capital of Smoke. Prefectural assemblymen and business leaders there separately launched Japan's first anti-smoke campaigns in the 1910s. They realized early on that industrial development caused harmful effects and mounted a surprisingly intensive effort to mitigate them. In the national capital too, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department used scientific knowledge and technologies to resolve the smoke problem for the residents. During the decade from the mid-1920s to mid-1930s, anti-smoke campaigners in Osaka and Tokyo adopted new strategies.
