Abstract

<p>This study aims to elucidate the formation process of socially accepted ideas about fine art in the Meiji era, using quantitative text analysis to examine the process of how social events related to 'fine arts' in newspapers were shared by the people of the time in the specific historical and social context of the Meiji period. As a result, the formation of social recognition of 'fine arts' focused on the actual genre from 1868 to 1887 as the first stage, and concentrated on values in the second stage, from 1888 to 1905. The third stage, from 1906 to 1912, was the process of understanding concepts. It founds that people of upper-class society accepted 'fine arts' in the order of concept to actual genre, and then to values, while the public understood fine art based on almost opposite processes. In addition, the Meiji government introduced the concept of 'fine arts' and integrated existing paintings into 'Japanese painting', which gradually reduced the functionality of painting in daily life, making it a mere object of appreciation.</p>
