Abstract
It was not until 1941 that the Ministry of Education began producing wall charts for drawings and handicrafts, and the Ministry did not publish wall charts for the national drawing textbook Shintei-Gacho, which had first appeared in 1910. In this study, I analyzsed the wall charts and catalogues of wall charts for drawing and handicrafts at the Tokyo Zogakan and Yutokan, and clarified their characteristics. It was found that Tokyo Zogakan and Yutokan produced wall charts of Shintei-Gacho using textbooks for teachers as a reference. This was in line with FUJI Goyosakuʼs idea that teachers should make enlarged pictures of the pictures in the textbook. The Tokyo Zogakan published a sequel to OKADA Shureiʼs popular “Zuan Kakezu” (Design Wall Charts), suggesting the possibility that it was based on Okadaʼs textbooks and writings.
