Research Abstract	This study started with a 2-year plan, of which this is the last year. The study has proceeded smoothly as planned. Through this research project I substantially clarified the relationship between Art documentation and Art magazines in Meiji-Taisho Period. Especially I chose to focus on several important art journals, analyzing how and why its editors introduced to their readers an enormous information of their contemporary European Arts I will compile and publish the results of this study as a book(Eiko IMHASHI, Art Criticism and Art Management in the Meiji-Taisho Period, 2012-2013 to be published). I also was able to provide full, well-organized bibliographic information, which I believe will further contribute to future research in this field
