Dear Frank,
I have made enquiries, and the feedback was:-

Isn't this what you're looking for? I haven't tried using it but it appears 
to go back to 1879.

Subject: [KS] Jap. newspaper archives?

Dear All:

Is there any online Japanese newspaper archive covering the period
before 1950 similar to what "mediagaon.or.kr" or "Naver News Library"
has to offer for Korean papers? Seems "Kikuzo II Visual for Libraries"
does that, but I have no access to that ... am mostly interested in the
Asahi Shimbun.

Thank you!
Frank
