Abstract

Dr. Inazo Nitobe studied abroad in the States and Germany in the early years of the Meiji era. He is famous for the fact that he introduced the Japanese mind to foreign countries by his book "Bushido, " which was translated into ten foreign languages. He was well known as highly internationally minded, and worked for the League of Nations as the first Japanese vice secretary-general. As an educator, he served as professor of a Sapporo Agriculture School, principal of the First Senior High School (Ikko), professor of Kyoto University and also Tokyo University, and took office as the founder president of Tokyo Woman's Christian University and bred up a large number of young people. In this essay, I will study in what kind of home the great man was brought up and what kind of home education he received, focussing on his mother's education.
