This exhibition aims to understand “what people have learned, and why people learn,” by focusing on the process of establishing a modern nation-state in Japan from the perspective of learning since the late 19th century. The exhibition deals with the history of education in Japan in a very broad sense, including various related themes. For example, in order to understand the significance of learning in Japan during the period of modernization, it explores themes such as the people’s conception of Japan and the world from the late Edo through the early Meiji Restoration period (1850’s-70’s), the roles played by the former retainers of the shogunate in Meiji period society (1868-1912), exhibitions envisaging a prosperous nation, the introduction of hygiene awareness and the resulting social tensions, modernization for the Ainu, and the establishment of an education system based on the concept of “the people.” In particular, the process by which the Japanese people evolved into members of a modern nation-state, through education and learning, is explained from various angles. Here, you can see how the people experienced challenges involving tensions such as tradition vs. modernization, Western countries vs. Asian countries, center vs. periphery, and the strong vs. the weak.
