| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we focus on the Collection of Ono Hideo in ISICS, Institute of Socio Information and Communication Studies, that includes 597 types of Kawaraban and 275 types of Shinbun-Nishikie. These visual media are very important in the popular culture of the late 19ィイD1thィエD1 century Japan. So in this research project, we analyze all these Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishikie from various inter-diciplinary aspects including history, art history, mass communication studies, sociology and cultural studies. Trough those analysis, we made clear about the popular concept of 'News' which is very different from the today's concept and elucidated the relationship between text and image in these visual media. Also, we m4de visual data base of this Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishikie Collection and published in the form of CD-ROM. This visual data base has all the translated text data of these Kawaraban and Shinbun-Nishike which must be very useful for the researchers of media history.
