Japanese cultural life had reached a low ebb at the beginning of
the Tokugawa period. The Japanese society which emerged when
Tokugawa Ieyasu had completed the process of pacifying warring
baronies was neither literary, nor hardly literate. The rulers were
warriors and the people they ruled were largely illiterate. The
Japan of 1868 was a very different society: practically every
samurai was literate and it was a world in which books abounded.
The transformation which had occurred in these two and a half
centuries was an essential precondition for the success of the
policy which the leaders of the Meiji Restoration were to adopt. An
in-depth survey of the development and education during the period,
this book remains one of the key analyses of the effects of
Tokugawa educators and education on modern day Japan.
