Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth insight into the sprawling Japanese mining empire of the Furukawa family that dominated Japan's copper industry for over a century, from the late 19th century to the present day. The author traces the rise of the Furukawa Mining Company, founded by Ichibei Furukawa in 1871, through its expansion into various mines across Japan, including the Ashio Copper Mines, the largest copper mines in the country. The book delves into the company's mining and smelting techniques, as well as its labour practices and the environmental impact of its operations. It explores the company's role in Japan's industrialisation and economic development, and its contribution to the country's technological advancements. The book also sheds light on the social and cultural impact of the Furukawa family's mining empire on the local communities where their mines were located.
