Countless serious problems such as homicide, suicide, and child abuse have kept occurring recently in Japan. Although Japan has become wealthy through a rapid economic growth after the World War II, the number of people who have mental problems has exponentially increased. In 2002 the author conducted fieldwork at a municipal museum named MUGONKAN in Gunma that contained a number of art pieces whose authors had died in the war. Although there is no course of fieldwork open at Ikuei College, many other colleges hold fieldwork-related courses and report that fieldwork consequently enables students' academic skills. Taking what is mentioned above into consideration, I established an opportunity for the members of the Ikuei College Photo Club to observe and study the museum. Although one-time visit on the museum isn't enough for fieldwork, the members studied through the observation of the pieces the following aspects; time, expressions, views on life, and understanding of war and mental growth. In this paper, I presented and discussed the process of this introductory fieldwork and the outcomes of students' questionnaires and the fieldwork on the whole.
