Research Abstract

In japan from the latter half of Tokugawa period to the Meiji era, appeared various leaflets which had news and pictures.
These things are usually called Kawaraban. But in those years we could not find any examples ofusing this term. Perhaps the term Kawaraban began to circulate in the Meiji era to characterize the first stage of the newspapers and magazines period. People at that time usually called them Surimono. If we literally translate this word into English, Surimono is printe matters. But this word was clearly distinguished from wood-printed books or from Ukiyoe and Nishikie. The meaning of Surimono was almost similar to leaflets. Therefore we prefered the term Surimono to Kawaraban.
Firstly we in these three years have been gathering 6200 Surimonos from 15 libraries and institutions which keep many Surimonos. Secondly we tried to compile comperhensive chronological catalog of Surimono. We classified them in 15 categories as follows, (1) fires, (2) disasters, (3) diseases, (4) calenders, (5) festivals, (6) political events, (7) business, (8) scandals, (9) religion and excursion, (10) culture, (11) dramas, (12) sumo, (13) prostitude, (14) history, (15) amusements.
We hope this catalog will be used in order to study the history of information and pictographical history of japan.
