Shibusawa Keizo collected many Woodblock prints (nishiki-e) which show a modernizing and industrializing society when he tried to found a museum of business history in the 1930s-1940s. In contrast, Keizo also compiled an image index to things depicted in picture scrolls of centuries ago. Following Keizo's path, the Resource Center aims to create an image index to nishiki-e in order for a wider public to access them to study the modernization era.
