<P> Japan was seriously harmed in WWII . For instance, during the wartime, "the Japanese cotton industry was brought to its knees by the end of the Second World War . Two - thirds of its prewar cotton spindles were scrapped by wartime administrators, and bombing and destruction of urban areas had caused a further loss of 20 percent of spinning and 14 percent of weaving capacity". Nonetheless, the ability of recovery astonished the world, earning the title of "Japanese Economic Miracle". By and large, every country has experienced some degree of industrial growth in the postwar period, those countries that achieved a heavy drop in industrial output due to war damage such as Japan, West Germany and Italy, have achieved a most rapid recovery . In the case of Japan, industrial production had fallen in 1946 to 27.6% of the pre-war level, but regained this pre-war level in 1951 and reached 350% in 1960 . </P> <P> The first reason for Japan to recover from war trauma swiftly was the successful economic reform by the government . The government body principally concerned with industrial policy in Japan is the Ministry of International Trade and Industry . One of the major economic reforms was to adopt the "Inclined Production Mode" (けい しゃ せいさん ほう しき). The "Inclined Production Mode" refers to the inclined production that primarily focus on the production of raw material including steel, coal and cotton . Textile production occupied more than 23.9% of the total industrial production . Moreover, to stimulate the production, Japanese government supported the new recruitment of labour, especially female labour . By enhancing the recruitment of female labour, Japan managed to recover from the destruction . The legislation on recruitment contains three components: the restriction placed on regional recruitment and relocation of workers, the banning of the direct recruitment of new school leavers, and the direct recruitment of non-school leavers under explicitly detailed regulations issued by the Ministry of Labor . </P> <P> The second reason that accounts for Japan's rapid recovery from WWII was the outbreak of Korean War, as Japan was favored by the Special Procurement . The Korean War was fought on the Korean Peninsula, and the United States eventually participated in the war, providing an opportunity for the Japanese economy . The Korean Peninsula is distant from US territory, so the logistics soon became a significant problem . As one of the major supporters of the United States in Asia, Japan stood out, providing ample support to logistical operations, and also benefitting from the production of firearms . The order of mass firearms and other material by the United States greatly stimulated the Japanese economy, enabling Japan to recover from the wartime destruction and providing Japan the basis for the upcoming high increasing stage . </P> <P> After gaining support from the United States and achieving domestic economic reform, Japan was able to soar from the 1950s to the 1970s . Furthermore, Japan also completed its process toward industrialization, and became one of the first developed countries in East Asia . The Japanese Economic Yearbooks from 1967 to 1971 witnessed the significant increase . In 1967, the year book said: the Japanese economy in 1966 thus made an advance more rapidly than previously expected . In 1968, the year book said that the Japanese economy continued to make a sound growth after it had a bottom in the autumn of 1965 . The words "increase", "growth" and "upswing" filled with summaries of the year books from 1967 to 1971 . The reasons for Japan to complete industrialization are also complicated, and the major characteristic of this time is the influence of governmental policies of the Hayato Ikeda administration, vast consumption, and vast export . </P>
