The fad for things Western was strongest during the 1870s and early 1880s.

Starting around the mid 1880s, however, there developed some conservative

tendencies that began emphasizing Japanese or “Eastern” traditions. What

resulted was a blending of Western and Eastern traditions. One of the best

examples of this trend can be found in the area of education. When the Meiji

government introduced a modern education system in 1872, the basic structure

of education was based on the French model with a curriculum heavily

influenced by the United States. In the 1880s, conservative elements in the

government exerted their influence and added Shinto and Confucian based

morals to the compulsory education curriculum. In 1890, the “Imperial Rescript

on Education” (that is, the Emperor’s words to students) was issued and became

the basic moral guideline until the end of the WWII. This imperial rescript

clearly contained elements of State Shinto, stating: “Our Imperial Ancestors

have founded Our Empire on a basis broad and everlasting” and “should

emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the State; and thus guard and

maintain the prosperity of Our Imperial Throne coeval [of the same age] with

heaven and earth.” It also emphasized the Confucian virtues of filial piety,

loyalty, faithfulness, etc. What began to emerge was a Western-style education

system with a uniquely Japanese twist. . . . Explanation:
