1 General Situation This survey report provides a summary of 23 Census of Manufacture carried out on December 31, 23, and the following sections detail the number of establishments with 4 or more employees that are engaged in manufacturing industry by commodity and further give the value of shipments by industry and by prefecture accordingly. 1. The number of establishments As the following table shows, Planograph (offset) printing establishments occupied the largest portion of all, and the next comings were Miscellaneous fabricated plate and sheet metal and manufacture of lumber and wood associated groups, namely Fittings, except metal fittings, section, with more than 4 times width larger than, Squares 7.5 cm or more and width and Lumbers less than 7.5 cm of minimum cross section, with less than 4 times width larger than. In addition to those groups, we see that establishments associated with manufacture of food industry also occupy a substantial part. Planograph (offset) printing industry was anyway predominant in Tokyo, Osaka and Aichi, and the total number of Planograph (offset) printing establishments of the three prefectures commanded a little over 3% of all. As far as Miscellaneous fabricated plate and sheet metal concerned, Aichi, Osaka and Kanagawa assumed dominant positions, and the total number of Miscellaneous fabricated plate and sheet metal establishments of the three prefectures commanded nearly 3% of all (Table 1).
