Details	To promote study on reception of arts and appreciation activity from historical viewpoints, methodological discussion how to approach the object is of paramount importance for lack of basic sources such as questionnaire researches on readership in history of modern literature. In this connection, it is also vital to how to define types of reception of arts. Our collaborative study elucidated that various approaches to reliable sources and documents such as hitherto neglected monthly reviews in a camera journal are possible that studies on reception of arts possess a good potentiality for further investigation.
