This book explores British reflections of Japanese education between 1858 and 1914, by referring to accounts by British observers, derived from documentary sources such as newspapers, journal articles, published books and official reports. Hiraoka argues that British attitudes and comments on Japanese education reflect concerns about their own education system. Shedding new light on the transnational history of the educational relationship between Japan and Britain, this book will be an attractive base for future researchers in the elds of history of education, cultural history, and comparative education.
