The export of canned crabs to America was started only 

 a few years ago but the sudden increase of the demand aug- 

 mented the amount of the output. The principal manufacturing 

 districts are Nemuro, Rijiri, in the Hokkaido while there is a 

 considerable number of manufacturers in Karafuto and its neigh- 

 bouring districts. Prawns enjoy a similar demand, the output 

 of which being not very limited there is a tendency towards 

 the increase of those who intend to make canned goods out of 

 prawns in these districts as well as in Japan. In Hokkaido 

 salmon and trout are extensively canned, in fact they have 

 thirty year's experience in the industry. Among them, the 

 Fujino Canning Manufactory stands conspicuous. 



For the canning of oysters the materials may be obtained 

 from Hokkaido, Hiroshima and Saga, where oysters are pro^ 

 duced abundantly but owing to the nature of the market the 

 output is not very large. 



Green Turtle Sonp. 



Green turtles are found in large numbers in the Bonin Islands; 

 so that the Ogasawara Canning Co. make soup out of green 

 turtles, the output at present is not very large but owing to the 

 fair prospects of the demand it has every promise of increasing, 

 greatly. 



Besides these bamboo sprouts, edible-little-curtain, reddening- 

 root-beard, and other varieties of mushrooms are produced 

 abundantly everywhere in Japan particularly in the Kyoto and 

 Hyogo districts. Since the Japanese find them palatable those 

 articles are canned to a considerable amount.
