The national school system began in 1872. In those days there were nearly 3,000 terakoya (old style temple schools) in Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture) educating commoners. These temple schools were instrumental in the spread of modern education. Although modern school buildings were built after 1874, Buddhist temples were still being used as schools even in 1904 when this photograph was taken.==Date:1904, Place:Karuizawa, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐63‐0]
