Summary:

Self-discipline instruction book from the 14th year of the Meiji Era. Some topics of discussion - Washing your face provides better complexion and prevents signs of youth. Always wash your hands and your mouth. The more you know, the less you should have to open your mouth. People will hate you if you say vulgar things. Learning will enrich a person with life Learning means nothing to a person without ethics. The better human is the human that can sit in the lower chair without complaint. The parents are the first teacher of any child. Alcohol has bad effects on kids. - Eri Maeda, HSP intern

Notes:

Woodblock prints

On double leaves, Fukurotoji style (bound-pocket, pouch binding).

When the 改正教育令 was issued, one of its goals was to bring the “Moral Sciences” front and center. The primary goal was not to load students with facts and knowledge, but to “develop their character and ethics” first. In this textbook, there are strong confucianist undertones. - Eri Maeda, HSP intern.
