No. 26 March 1890 2016 1890 Iwamoto Chizuna s Business Venture in Thailand in the 1890s: His biography and projects of Japanese laborer emigration to Siam Part 1 Eiji Murashima Iwamoto Chizuna 1858 1920 resigned his commission as first lieutenant in the Japanese Army at the age of 30 years old. He visited Siam Thailand for the first time in August 1892 and undertook to run 3 kinds of business there, i.e., export of Japanese general merchandise, import of Siamese lumber, especially teak, and an emigration company for Japanese emigrant laborers to Siam. All his projects ended up in failure in late 1896. However, his activities contributed to build the foundation of modern Japanese-Siamese relationship in various fields. This paper will attempt to reveal Iwamoto s early life in vivid detail and examine the result of his projects in Siam. 19 1896 4 8 3 2 6 2 5 29 6 194 1897 3 1894 5 50 1992 9 1992 10 2005 9 2008 1996 199 209 1936 157
