■ For a bit deeper Sugorokians
Won't you develop "Sugoroku in 21st Century" together with us?「

イラスト:楓Tsukiji Sugoroku Museum is considering sincerely to develop an educational multi-media tool using the expression technique of Sugoroku in the 21st century.

As an example, everyone has own dreams like "to be a professional baseball player"; "to become a nurse" etc. in his/her childhood, but they would fade slowly away in the process of growing up to adults. We are seeking a way to create such a modern simulation game as shows the certain development process of various career routes in order to make children's dream real.

Please let us know of your idea.

Please send your comments, opinions, facts you have found or deductions on such 5 riddles of Sugoroku world as following;

1.How and when the gambling game Board Sugoroku turned into Paper Sugoroku, in Edo era? We share a strong desire to determine which one is the first Paper Sugoroku, its author and the creation date. Why the name was succeeded by Paper Sugoroku though it is quite different game from Board Sugoroku?

2.Is there a fact that Sugoroku has been exported to abroad along with Ukiyo-e? If yes, do they exist still there? What kind of influences had been given in the European world of arts by its expression technique then?

3.Is it true that Sharaku(famous UKIYOE painter) has made NO Sugoroku at all? Is there anyone who have had a look at such work(s)?

4.Which one is the oldest magazine's appendix Sugoroku in Japan?
It would be so nice to have a completed list of appendix of major magazines for boys and girls for the time of Meiji to Showa. The main role of January issues should have been played surely by Sugoroku.

5.What kind of Paper Sugoroku do they have in Europe or China? How many countries in the world possess Sugoroku, and since when? It's also fascinating to determine which one is the first in the world, its author and the creation date, isn't it?
