 note = {In this paper, the author examined the dominant pattern of spatial diffusion of nine entrepreneurial innovations in the Meiji and Taisho era with reference to Japanese urban system. Factor analysis was applied to the adoption ranking matrix of the innovations for the selected twenty-five largest cities in 1903. As the result, three types of diffusion patterns were identified; the patterns to correlate to the castle town system, to link to population size and to relate to the locations of foreign trade port cities. Conclusively said, these patterns would reflect the constitution of Japanese urban system developing after the Meiji era, which consists of two kinds of constituent elements; (1) the foreign trade port city, the city for reclamation of Hokkaido, the naval city and the industrial city as the new constituent elements, and (2) the remnants of the castle town system as the proper element. Commonly to these patterns, however, the influence of hierarchy effect in a broad sense was apparently observed, though its explanatory power was low. Therefore, the conclusion should be represented most accurately by the words that the urban system in those days, being on reformation toward the unification, performed the role as a channel of these innovation diffusions.},
