About emerging media
and its promulgation
The newspaper is a printed material
distributed to an unspecified populace with the aim of informing the people
with current news. The history of newspapers in Japan starts from the Edo
period, when foreigners started to publish English papers. In the same period,
the Edo bakufu government started to publish translated versions of a Dutch
newspaper. However, the number of publications of those newspapers was limited,
and there were not so many people who had access to them. In the Meiji period,
daily newspapers were established one after another in Yokohama and Kyoto, and
that triggered other cities situated in rural areas to publish their own
newspapers. Some of them were the Nishikie Newspaper (Pictorial Newspaper created
by using a method of Ukiyoe woodprint), the contents of which can be easily
understood even without reading the articles. The first newspaper published in
Fukuoka was the “Chikushi Newspaper”, established in 1877. The newspaper was
printed once every three days and its publication lasted only four months.
However, other successive newspapers also started publication. In 1880, the
Fukuoka Daily Newspaper, Fukuoka’s first daily newspaper, was established.
Together with the Fukuryo Shimpo Newspaper (which later changed its name to
Kyushu Nippo), the Fukuoka Daily Newspaper increased the circulation of
newspapers published in Fukuoka as a whole.
This exhibition introduces the newspapers
published in the Fukuoka area during the Meiji to Showa periods, along with
notable events that happened in the timeline.
