This book seeks to inform of how education and schooling contributed to the unique Japanese modernisation and industrialisation. A book that bridges the gap on the Japan’s history of education would be useful to Japanese education-centric historians and researchers.

As one of the most rapid and earliest nations to achieve "Western modernisation", much of Japan’s success stems from its fruitful literacy history during the Tokugawa shogunate as well as later influences from Western educational ideals and consequent economic and democratic conflicts in Japan. This book seeks to enlighten readers on how education and schooling contributed to Japan’s particular process of modernisation and industrialisation. These historical insights can be applied to crises in formal and systemised education today, and form the basis of potential solutions to controversies faced by formal education in Japan and other nation-states. A book that bridges the international information gap in Japan’s history of education will be immensely valuable to historians of both international and Japanese education.

Masashi Tsujimoto is Emeritus Professor at Kyoto University, Japan. Yoko Yamasaki is Professor at Mukogawa Women’s University, Japan.
