A Study of "Jiyuga" Education in Akita Prefecture (9) : "Exhibition of Works by Elementary School Children across the Prefecture" and the Visits of Yamamoto Kanae and Others

Abstract

This paper provides in-depth research on and analyses of the "Exhibition of Works by Elementary School Children across the Prefecture" that was held in Akita Prefecture in April 1928, with Yamamoto Kanae and Goto Fukujiro as visiting judges and lecturers. It was confirmed that the visits of Yamamoto, who emphasized the study of sketching and drawings, and Goto, whose intention was to promote "localization," fully inspired a transition to the next step for drawing and jiyuga education in Akita.
