Statistical Museum - Shinjuku City

Located in the Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, you can see the history of statistical surveys!

2020 is the year of the five-year census.

Although not generally known, you can learn the history of statistics

Thanks to everyone's review, there was no identification, and the reception was polite. I enjoyed the exhibition and manga.

The history toward the implementation of the first census was carefully introduced. Shigenobu Okuma, Yukichi Fukuzawa, Ogai Mori, Takashi Hara, and other names often seen in history appear in relation to statistics and census. I learned very much. I miss the video content

I often use statistical data at work, so I thought I should try it a little, but it's a terrible response. At the entrance, even if I told you that I came to the museum, the attitude that I came to do anything. After that, the same approach is taken at the entrance of the building. Before you get to the museum, you feel uncomfortable and want to return to the trap. If you really want to see the history of statistics in general, it may be necessary to take measures such as dividing the entrance. The site seems to have plenty of room.

First I will explain how to get to the museum. If you search on Google Maps, you will see a route that comes from the road on the east side of the library. However, this method can not be used. It is necessary to enter the building of the Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications from the north side, bypass the Statistics Bureau, and then reach the west side of the museum. During this time, you will be required to present your ID card or be required to register at the Statistics Bureau entrance. I will not give details, but I may not receive a pleasant response. However, I think that the government office is such a thing, I will move forward. Once you enter the library, you will need a book again. It's a great security. However, the staff of the museum is full of hospitality, and the response up to this point is the difference between heaven and earth. As for the contents of the exhibition, the nature of the facilities is mostly related to statistical surveys under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and specifically to the census. A panel exhibition that honors the achievements of its predecessors, led by Keisuke Sugi, who made an effort to realize the national census in the Meiji period, relevant data of the initial census, and analog computers imported from overseas to streamline the research Is the main exhibit. The Kawaguchi-type electric counting machine, which has been certified as an information processing technology heritage, is also on display. One hour is sufficient for the tour. Nowadays there are many people who refuse to investigate, but the first census shows that it was an event of Halle's event to cooperate with the government with all the people at the time, and the slogan at that time (it is quite interesting). I felt the sense of another world. It was thought that this situation happened because the public's sovereignty was due to the constitution of the government office of the name, probably because the public's awareness of personal information protection became strong.
