幕末期の西欧技術導入と在来技術（盛岡藩の高炉水車を例として）

摘要

As the end of Edo era, many western technologies were imported to Japan. However, the philosophy for industrial development of Japan was completely different from western countries. In western countries, society is supported by the linkage of mass manufacturing by industry and mass consumption by ordinary people. On the other hand, only demanded amount of products were manufactured in Japan, mainly using recycled materials. At the time, modern western blast furnace were constructed at Kamaishi, in Northeastern Japan. This furnace had almost similar dimension as shown in western textbook. However, surrounding building and the watermill for driving blowers were Japanese traditional style. This situation was different from the technology transfer at Meiji period. In this report, the reason of this difference are discussed to clarify the difference of the Japanese traditional manufacturing philosophy from western one.%わが国は，欧米の先進国が工業国としての地歩を確rn立し，農業国であった多くの後進国を植民地化した中rnにあって，世界で唯一宗主国を持たず近代化を成し遂rnげた独立国家として諸外国からも注目を集めている．rnこのことは，九州・山口の近代化遺産を世界遺産へ登rn録しようとする動きの中で，自力資本によって先進国rnへ転換を果たしたことの指標として近代化遺産を位置rnづけることで，それらが世界唯一のものとしての価値rnを持つことを前面に出していることにも現れている．
