Abstract: Officially, 1972 marks the 100th anniversary of the modern apple industry in Japan. Although a small, crab-type apple was grown there for several centuries, the modern cultivated apple was virtually unknown in Japan prior to the Meiji Restoration which reopened the country to foreign trade in 1868. Since their introduction in 1872 apples have become the second leading fruit crop with 149,000 acres currently producing some 90 million boxes (40 lb.) annually.
