| Research Abstract |
The Bunka Gakuin, which was established in the district of Tokyo's Kanda Ward in April 1921 as a small-scale institution for the secondary education of young women, was among the so-called "new schools" founded during the Taisho period a private school. Its educational practices, which were part of the main stream of the so-called "new education" movement, were at the same time in the vanguard of the so-called Taish. free education movement and especially of "free education" in the realm of the arts. Nishimura Isaku, who provided the school's founding and was its first director recalls many of the "things which have greatly influenced the Bunka Gakuin since its very birth" by making use of such "key words" and phrases as Christianity, America, sexual curiosity or interest, globally oriented, and "prophetic." The basic personality and liberal thinking of Nishimura, who styled himself a "free thinker," had a direct or indirect influence on the school's organization and the content of the education that was offered.
