Abstract

This study discusses an analysis of drawings documented from Aisyu Kindergarten's art classes in the late Meiji period. The results of the analysis revealed that the documented "drawings" from Meiji Year 37 to 41 (1904 to 1909) were done at the children's "own discretion," and that these drawings depicted objects that were, at the time, familiar to the children, such as warrelated scenes. In particular, using pencils and a white sheet of paper, many of the children drew battleships as their "Nichiro sensou kinencho" (memories of the Russo-Japanese War), and in the majority of these pictures the ships were engaged in battle. Moreover, it was found that children seemed to have a strong interest in the shape and form of battleships.
