Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The central focus of my present research is to grasp the connection between the kogai (health hazard incidents) museum and the visitor in the specific terms of how the museum operates as a medium that leads visitors to seek greater involvement, through exhibition and/or the talk of kataribe (narrator). My research findings follow: We must realize that the museum conveys only limited messages and functions as a “guide” to give incentives to the visitors for further investigation of their own. We need to put aside our preconceptions that a museum has the right answer and that the kataribe, who lived in the time of kogai, explain what happened “in those days” to an audience of spectators, not tojisha (persons/parties concerned).
