Résumé anglais The localised industries (jiba sangyo) are the descendants of the output system which had predominated until the Meiji. They managed to survive thanks to the domestic system and the mainly handmade tradition, and with the domination of the wholesaler over the sub-contractor because these industries were not financed by central banks. The author analyses the various types according to their first localization (capital, castle-towns and villages). He sets the problem of their future, connectid to the competition of newly developed industrial countries, either the production is focused on exports, essentially to the United States, or it is absorbed by the home market where the rise of the standard of living strengthenes the demands for luxuary and high quality goods. He steadilty maintains his assumptiun that the capacity of flexity of this system, which combines the know-how and modern technologies, is the only alternative to the crisis - extremely accute - in the country side.
