Abstract:
Kyoto University Museum possesses many physical apparatus collected at the College of Kyoto between 1868 and 1945. From these apparatus and many archives of Kyoto University Library, the technology transfer in the field of scientific instrument making from Europe to Japan can be traced. The way of transfer was the employment of foreign teachers, the education of Japanese students in European countries, the settlement of school for the education of engineer. Japanese scientific instrument manufacturers appeared in the late 19th century.
