Abstract

The chapter examines the pivotal role of personal small savings in Japan’s economic growth, highlighting the development of the multi-layered financial structure and the alternative financial system. It explores how these systems facilitated the provision of micro-finance and supported regional economies, particularly in the agricultural sector. The text also delves into the historical evolution of these financial systems, from the Meiji period to the interwar years, and their impact on Japan’s modernization. By focusing on the accumulation and management of popular funds, the chapter offers a unique perspective on Japan’s economic development, emphasizing the significance of financial inclusion and regional support.
