Thread-changing economic situation

Japanese: 糸へん景気 - いとへんけいき

...Also, the rationing, price and facility controls on rayon yarn and staples that had continued from before the war until after the war were all abolished between the fall of 1949 and 1950, freeing the rayon industry from the constraints of long-term controls for the first time. The Korean War broke out in June 1950, and with the booming domestic and international economic activity, both domestic and foreign demand for chemical fiber products showed unprecedented growth, with product prices soaring dramatically, creating the so-called "yarn-focused economic boom" that continued until the spring of 1951. In 1951, production volume increased 2.1 times for rayon yarn and 3.8 times for staples compared to 1949.

The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 triggered an unprecedented expansion of both domestic and foreign demand, and with product prices soaring, a "yarn boom" began that continued until the spring of 1951. For example, the production of rayon yarn in 1951 increased 2.1 times compared to 1949, and rayon staple increased 3.8 times.
