Klslc Tnmal says that "under rtbosrulo of Tokugawas Japan only trad cfl -with Oblna and Coroa, as any at tempt to trado wjth othor countries nma punishable with death. In conso iquenco of this sovoro law tho pooplo of Japan lost tho dcslro to go boyond Chi Bin. nnd Corea until in 18G8 the great onnngo enmo which oponod Jnpan to 3'Juropcnn culturo. With this Innova tion began a porlod of great prosperity iSfor tho Japancso merchant marine. In Slfl72 tho first Japanoso navigation com pany vns formed, tho Yubin-jokison. "fcaishn, but tho company hnd only a Sew ships, eo that Amorlcnns nnd Brit 3 oh remained nbsoluto lords of tho ocean and coastwlsb trade. In 1874, Siowover, n wlso and prudent samurai, "Yrftaro Iwasaki, forftiod' a navigation company known ns tho "Mltsu-blshl-fralilm, which soon bocamo powerful nnd absorbod tho first company. "Tho war with China in Formosa n 187't was of groat importnnco to Hiwwakl. At that timo ho purchnsod airtumbor of ships nnd undortook tho ttimnportatlon of supplies for tho army. It -was thon that lio frcnlly laid tho foundation, for tho natlvo morchnnt ma rine. Tho most important ovont in tho iurlkcr dovolopmont of tho Japancso morehnnt mnrlno was tho second war with. China, which took plnco from Juno 180 J, to May, ,1805. Tho Impitr ianco of this war la proved by tho fol lowing flgures: Tho end of 1803 tho 4otnl tonnngo wns 107,000; Mny, 1804, 3fll,S10; Mny, 1805, 314,512; end of 3895, 331,000. Tho Jnpaneso morchant innrino in n slnglo year doubled Its tonnngo nnd Jnpaneso transoceanic linos now extend to Kuropo, Amoricn, Australia, tho East Blborlan coast, to Sngnhallon, Coroa and CJiinn. In 1800 tho government passed n law for tho purposo of favoring tho homo uhlpbulldlng trado, nnd this law grant oil particular subsidies. Up to this -timo In Japan thoro had only boon ono wooden vossol of 1000 tons built, but olneo tho pussugo of tho bill Japan has tnado immonso atridos in tho shipbuild ing, nrt. Thus, for oxnmplo, many ahlps nro nowbullt in .Japan of moro than six and sovon thousand tons, nnd tho Japanoso docks nro aVwoll equip ped as any In Kuropo. Tho first of January, 1004, tho total tonnngo of tho morchant marino was 057,20 tons, or Jour times ns muck as boforo tho war with China, -and January, 1005, tho total tonnngo was 701,057 tons.
