This paper, as part of study that aims at understanding the characteristics of the modern homes, discusses about urban housing surveys in Japan in the 1910-40s, using a method of historical sociology. Housing surveys can be read as discourses on homes. This paper stresses the fact that those surveys described not only the properties of houses but also the relationship between homes and inhabitants. Those surveyors' perspectives were linked to contemporary discourses on homes. The numerous attempts at housing surveys suggest that the process of formation of modern homes was based on ideas and technologies refined at every moment.
