The
establishment of a national education system soon after the Meiji
Restoration of 1868 is recognized as a significant factor in Japan’s
modernization, hence research on education is concentrated on the state
system. However, this development did not mean the disappearance of the
juku, the private academies which were so much a feature of the Tokugawa
period. Indeed, these played a far greater role than has been
appreciated so far and this book aims to rectify the omission.
This comprehensive study of a little-known but significant area
not only contributes to a better understanding of education in the Meiji
period but is also relevant to Japan’s public education reforms today. Published
