“One of the best collections of important considerations and useful
material on Japanese education in recent years.”—Monumenta
Nipponica
“Reflecting some of the best recent scholarship on Japanese
education by both American and Japanese researchers, this volume
provides a fairly comprehensive overview of developments in
Japanese education.”—Choice
“[This] collection of papers provides rich and abundant information
on various facets of Japanese education. This is surely in part due
to the editorial skills of a highly respected expert on Japanese
society and education. This book offers a great deal of useful
knowledge for non-Japanese students, teachers, and scholars, and
for their Japanese counterparts as well. . . . I am very pleased
that this excellent cooperation between U. S. and Japanese
educators has resulted in a strong collection of essays that will
help to inform persons interested in Japanese education and
society.”—Umakoshi Toru Journal of Japanese Studies
