For the past two years, we have been exploring the educational charts of our college collection. These charts were crafted presumably in the late 19th and early 20th century and introduced in the classroom in those days. Up until today, they have been remained uncataloged for a long time. Hokkaido university, established as Sapporo Agricultural College, has a long history and will celebrate 150th anniversary next year. As a nature of agricultural college, collection includes many educational charts, especially in the field of forestry such as “logging operation of trees”,“soil and water management “ and “agricultural machinery and tools”. In this new project, examining 320 ”Large-scaled charts” and 400 “Scrolls”, we uncovered their history and background and found that similar charts also existed in other institutions of Japan such as University of Tokyo. Moreover, some of them were originally from the west world such as Germany. In order to show our outcomes clearly , we pick up the images of plows and compare the Western and Japanese plows within the pictures. Also we will visualize the findings of similarity into a vivid poster.
