Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) is the most popular poet among the modern Japanese. Because his literary works had been incorporated the nature. That is, his views of nature calls forth many modern Japanese responses. And as his views of nature was based on the science on Taisho Era in Japan, we can recognise that his views of nature had included an element of scientific one. Therefore, we may point out that many of modern Japanese whose have acquired science education have scientific views of nature common with Kenji Miyazawa's one. Now, this study tries to definite the concept "scientific views of nature" on Kenji Miyazawa. Especially, this study analyzes the teaching materials for Kenji Miyazawa's science lecture at RASUTIJINKYOKAI which was his personal association on agricalture. The materials are composed of some fields of science; the outline on chemistry, botanical physiology and some essential knowledges on soil and 49 scientific sketches for teaching. From the result, on the things of nature which are chemical substances, plants and minerals, Kenji Miyazawa had strongly believed that those all are made up of "ATOM"
