At the end of the 19th century, the telephone was a new medium. At the turn of the century, no modern societies could avoid this medium's influence. In the case of Japan, as in other countries, some changes had come with the introduction of the telehone. This paper attempts to investigate the impact of the telephone in Japan during the modern era (1890-1945) by means of analyses of discourse on expectations for the telephone. First, I describe a brief history of the telephone and social conditions in modern Japan. Second, I examine some cases of expectations through four types of organization. Finally, I point out the significance of these expectations as markers of the direction of the social impact of the new medium.
