 note = {Utako Shimoda was a key figure even during preparation for the opening of the “Kazoku girls school”, which was thought to be a kind of “school for empresses”. The “Imperial Court” was forced to “reform” as part of a plan for “internationalization and Westernization” even though they had long practiced traditional Japanese imperial routines, and Shimoda was given a position that shouldered the responsibility of educating modern girls under the reform.
　She was deeply trusted by the wife of the Meiji Emperor, Empress Haruko.
　When the Empress paid an official visit to the school in February 1886, less than three months after its opening in November 1885, she gave the students “Japanese textbooks” written by Shimoda to let them use as a textbook. However, as mentioned in a previous report (“The source of Utako Shimoda’s education”, Women and Culture 3, 2017), Shimoda went to the Kansai region in 1888, during the early days girls’ education. (“Report on the 49 days”). Although her purpose was to rest and heal a sickness, she also felt it was necessary to observe a variety of educational sites. The experiences she had on this trip probably significantly influenced Shimoda’s educational policies afterwards.
　Furthermore, in 1893, Shimoda was ordered to be a tutor for Princesses Tsunenomiya and Kanenomiya. After that, she was devoted to the education of common girls in Japan, as well as the education of girls in royal and prestigious families. Some people at the “Kazoku girls school”, including Umeko Tsuda and Fudeko Ishii also studied abroad at that time, and many schools based on Christianity were founded around the same time. It was thought that she requested a business trip to Western countries because she thought it was important to inspect their education methods.
　This paper aims to analyze the passages of the essay “Soto no hama zuto” which describes Shimoda’s overseas travels, and also to examine their association with quotes from “Makura no soshi”. “Makura no soshi” is a work written by Seishonagon, who, in a sense, served Empress Teishi and her Imperial court as an educator. Shimoda wrote “Soto no hama zuto” to emulate “Makura no soshi”. It was partially a diary, essay, and form of waka poetry, in which people candidly expressed their internal emotions in the old days. Shimoda started to learn these literature genres when she was young, and wrote many works. Nevertheless, writings on travel experience based on Japanese classical literature are very significant. Examining why “Soto no hama zuto” was written based on “Makura no soshi” in this study will be the first step to learning Shimoda’s thoughts and educational
philosophy.classical literature are very significant. Examining why “Soto no hama zuto” was written based on “Makura no soshi” in this study will be the first step to learning Shimoda’s thoughts and educational philosophy.},
