After the Meiji Restoration, Japan promoted the rapid modernization of its social system and industrial techniques in order to rank alongside powerful Western countries. Partly due to the geopolitical fact that Japan is surrounded by sea, it has achieved a remarkable development by positively taking in knowledge and techniques from overseas, especially in the field of Naval Engineering. That naval architecture became one of the major driving forces of modernization is backed by a line of historical facts, with many early primary documents pertaining to naval architecture having been consigned to the Museum of Maritime Science (Tokyo). Thanks to the courtesy of the museum, these have been returned to the University of Tokyo. The intent of the present exhibition is to reconsider the history of modern naval architecture by disclosing such related documents.
