Offers the first account in English of the construction of a national school system in Japan, as outlined in the 1872 document, the Gakusei. Divided into three parts, the book begins by exploring the feudal background for the Gakusei during the Tokugawa era. It then traces the Ministry of Education's investigations of the 1870s to determine the best western model for Japan, before going on to cover the eventual "reverse course” sparked by the Imperial Household protest that the western model overshadowed cherished Japanese traditions.
