Abstract
To meet the strong quantitative demands for poultry products with high sanitary standards soon after World War II, the Japanese poultry industry experienced a rapid expansion period. However, it should be remembered that the post-war flourishment of the Japanese poultry industry was built on a solid academic and educational platform that took several pre-war decades to construct. In addition, poultry play a special cultural role in Japanese society. In this review, poultry in Japan is illustrated from the following three historical viewpoints: 1) development of the Japanese poultry industry; 2) academic and educational contributions to the poultry industry in Japan; and 3) ritualistic, mythic, and artistic attributes of poultry that are deeply embedded in Japanese society.
