Summary/Abstract: The ideals about women's education are understood to have formed during the Meiji period, when the government introduced the public education system in Japan with the goal of creating ryosai kenbo to build a stronger/brighter Japanese nation. This paper, by providing a glimpse of Iwamoto Yoshiharu s first hand experiences while striving to educate women and society, gives a better idea about the process involved in the development of these ideals.
