Abstract
This paper discusses the origin of distribution of the fashion illustration by the media, especially mass media. We consider that the origin was in Ukiyoe woodcut. So we research the media that the fashion illustrations were presented from Ukiyoe woodcut to the current media. As a result we declare that the fashion illustration has an intimate relation to the media because the fashion is presented and distributed by the media. The progress and transformation of the media as well as the existing media are considered to affect on the drawing techniques and outputs. Illustrators who draw the works should obtain an advanced technique and give their effort to deepen the contents of their works as well as grasping the fundamental drawing technique.
