This collection, consisting of over 35,000 stock and PR photos which have been stored at Kyoto University for over 70 years is now open to the public for the first time after the war.<br \/>\nThe collection survived in nearly perfect condition, which is very rare for a set of visual records of a Japanese pre-war company. This valuable collection of photographs was entrusted to Kyoto University by chance during the postwar chaos, and has been preserved carefully at the Institute for Research in Humanities ever since.<br \/>\nThe photos rarely show battle situations from the Sino-Japanese War. Instead, they give us a glimpse of an 80 year old China &#8211; of its climate, folklore and culture, its local transportation infrastructure, industry and natural resources. While published pictures were censored by the military or government, unused photos escaped this fate. By carefully examining the set as a whole, we can read the natural and social landscape of a China long gone.<br \/>\nThere are many more sources located at Kyoto University which have not yet been made public. Researchers in the humanities are working diligently to preserve and publish them.<br \/>\nWe have released these public relations photographs intended for wartime Japanese citizens and Japanese language speakers as academic resources. We will continue to examine the full scale of this photo collection not only in a Sino-Japanese but also in an international framework.<br \/>\n<!-- We hope that this photo exhibition will raise interest in the history and culture of Japan, China and other Asian countries.--><\/p>\n<p>The organizing committee would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Kyoto University and its three institutes (the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the Institute for Research in Humanities, and the Kyoto University Museum) for their financial support of this exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Toshihiko Kishi, the Chair of Organizing Committee \u2018China 80 Years Ago Captured on Camera\u2019, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University<\/p>\n<p>Sub-Program: Digital Show Case<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slide show<\/strong><br \/>\nAbout 450 photos that could not be exhibited can be viewed as a slideshow divided into the six categories \u2018railway\u2019, \u2018women\u2019, \u2018children\u2019, \u2018school\u2019, \u2018food and residence\u2019 and \u2018elderly and medical care\u2019.
