1883 Japanese Shushin China Confucian Early Education Illustrated Yogaku Koyo

1883 Japanese Shushin China Confucian Early Education Illustrated Yogaku Koyo

A rare, 19^th century Japanese woodblock print of “Yogaku Koyo” by Matsumoto Fuko. “Yogaku Koyo” is the ‘shushin’ (moral education) book compiled by Nagazane Motoda, lecturer in the Imperial Household, under the command of the Meiji Emperor. Motoda stressed that true education was to imprint the virtues of humanity, justice, loyalty to their masters, and filial piety on children’s minds before they were given knowledge as seen from Confucianism in China rather than the growing western views on education.

This rare 1883 woodblock print is written in a column handwritten format with furigana for easier reading and includes illustrations of samurai, scenery, battles, lords and ladies, castles, and more!
