Yushima Seido was built as a confucian temple in 1690. After that,Yushima Seido was establish as a educational institution aside from confucianizm.
During the period of feudalism in Japan,there were lots of school like that. so people studied very hard at school. Yushima Seido was the top grade school in Japan.
Why was Japan succeed to change modernization after closed down feudalism? I think that Japanese people in those era studied so hard that literacy rate was high that why Japan was able to catch up with western countries to be modernization.
