抄録	The temporal transitional pattern of Japanese mortality shows that the epidemiologic transition had begun during the interwar period. As Taueber (1958) suggested, the continuous decline of Japanese mortality in the interwar period was accounted mainly by the decline of infant mortality. On the other hand, the mortality of adult did not decline so much during the same period, and rather the mortality rates rose in some diseases. In the background of these phenomena, the regional variations of mortality transition between urbanized regions and rural regions were observed. These regional variations were caused by various epidemiologic factors, such as climatic conditions, geographical conditions, sanitary conditions, medical services, and other socio-economic conditions. Thus, if we inspect the regional differences on mortality rate, we will be able to grasp the characteristics of socio-economic development of regional society in modern Japan. While the close relationship between the mortality and the economic development has been discussed occasionally in the field of economic history, the transition of regional mortality mostly has not been considered yet in the perspective of economic development in modern Japan. In this paper, we examine the temporal transitional patterns of mortality of major causes-of-Death sorted by forty seven prefectures, and discuss the regional characteristics of transitional patterns. There are obviously some different transitional patterns which seem to reflect epidemiologic factors of each region. Based on these observations, we estimate the conceptual model that expresses the transition of mortality rate in modern Japan. As the result of consideration, we propose the assumption about the relationship between the mortality transition and the socio-economic development of regional society.

DCTERMS.abstract	The temporal transitional pattern of Japanese mortality shows that the epidemiologic transition had begun during the interwar period. As Taueber (1958) suggested, the continuous decline of Japanese mortality in the interwar period was accounted mainly by the decline of infant mortality. On the other hand, the mortality of adult did not decline so much during the same period, and rather the mortality rates rose in some diseases.

While the close relationship between the mortality and the economic development has been discussed occasionally in the field of economic history, the transition of regional mortality mostly has not been considered yet in the perspective of economic development in modern Japan.
