ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

    National Diet Library Newsletter No. 196, October 2014 Western style architecture in the early modern period of Japan: From small digital exhibition "Kaleidoscope of Books (16)" This is a partial translation of the small digital exhibition "The Dawn of Modern Japanese Architecture - focusing on architectural design competitions" <http://www.ndl.go.jp/kaleido/entry/16/index.html> in Japanese of the same title. Contents Introduction Chapter 1: "Architects" Were Born - Graduates of the Imperial College of Engineering Chapter 2: Competitions - Contests by Architects Chapter 3: Let's Take a Look at Modern Architectures in Japan! - From the World of Landmark Guidebooks Introduction After the Meiji Restoration of 1868, western style buildings designed by Japanese architects came to be seen as symbols of Japan's rapid modernization. This 16th volume of the small digital exhibition series "Kaleidoscope of Books" introduces materials relating to those architects, as well as competitions - their "battle fields." Additionally, guide books and photo books with images of modern architecture are also provided in this exhibition, and prove that those buildings were later regarded as famous. Chapter 1: "Architects" Were Born- Graduates of the Imperial College of Engineering The history of Japanese modern architectures dates back to the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate. Naturally, there were people who engaged in construction before that, but Japanese "architects" - specialists who designed and oversaw buildings - were born in the early Meiji period, when the technologies and cultures of the western countries were introduced. Chapter 1 shows the dawn of the world of architecture in Japan by describing people who formed the foundation of Japanese modern architecture and the education of the Imperial College of Engineering they went to.
