Outline of Final Research Achievements

The statistical survey system was introduced to Japan in the early Meiji era, with which the state could obtain information about nation and social and natural circumstances under its control. The aim of this project is to explore following two points. Firstly, how did the government officials recognise and use the statistical surveys? Secondly, how did the ordinary people understand the surveys and answer the questionnaires? Answering these questions, this project successfully revealed that the statistical data became reliable after 1889 in Japan.
