Translator's Note: During the Edo period in Japan, public schools were exclusive to the children of the samurai class, leaving children from common families without access to education. To remedy this, Buddhist temples began establishing "terakoya" (寺子屋), schools within the temples where reading, writing, and the abacus were taught, along with disciplines like tea ceremony and calligraphy. These educational spaces allowed all children to access basic education, contributing to a high literacy level in the country.Instructors, known as "shishō" (師匠), were monks or trained volunteers. In these schools, boys and girls studied separately, learning manners and good customs, which facilitated their integration into society. With the arrival of the Meiji era, public education was democratized, allowing access for all children.
