| Research Abstract |
1. There were many channels of introducing the information about British education in the fledging era of modern education of Japan (at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and Meiji era). Among other things, the followings merit attention ; (1)inviting of hired British teachers, (2)sending of Japanese students to Britain, (3)inspecting of Great Britain by Iwakura Mission and (4)importing of British literature. These channels probably rendered great services in the modernisation and standing up for herself of Japanese education.

Some aspects on the history of technological transfer and cultural exchange were concretely analyzed ; (1)inviting of the hired teachers and engineer, especially Dyer Henry and R. H. Brunton, (2)sending of Japanese students to Britain, especially Kiyoshi Minami, Sampachi Hukuzawa, Soseki Natsume and Masataka Tkwtsuru, (3)inspecting of Britain by Iwakura Mission and (4)importing of British literature on technology and economics.
3. Between two countries, such a close personal intrerchange could be observed. Among other things, a hired teachers Henry Dyer brought technological education experiences he had gained in Japan back to Scotland and implemented new education in Glasgow, and also some English artists took lessons in Japanese painting from Kyosai Kawanabe brought it back to his home country. This perspective of studying counter effect from Japan can help to give hints even to studies on the history of interchanges with various countories other than Great' Britain. Less
