1484 JP - Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining (2015)

Description

"The site encompasses a series of twenty three component parts, mainly located in the southwest of Japan. It bears testimony to the rapid industrialization of the country from the middle of the 19^th century to the early 20^th century, through the development of the iron and steel industry, shipbuilding and coal mining. The site illustrates the process by which feudal Japan sought technology transfer from Europe and America from the middle of the 19^th century and how this technology was adapted to the country’s needs and social traditions. The site testifies to what is considered to be the first successful transfer of Western industrialization to a non-Western nation."

明治工业革命遗迹：钢铁、造船和煤矿
"这片遗址包括十一处地产，主要位于日本西南部。这片建筑群见证了日本十九世纪中期至二十世纪早期以钢铁、造船和煤矿为代表的快速的工业发展过程。这处遗址展示了十九世纪中期封建主义的日本从欧美引进技术，并将这些技术融入本国需要和社会传统中的过程。这个过程被认为是非西方国家第一次成功引进西方工业化的示例。"
