Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the significance and limitations of bringing the liberty tradition in schools as an educational practice, specifically in the school event Aogeba Toutoshi, performed at Ohki High School, Kyoto. After World War II, freedom of expression was emphasized in schools, and from the 1960s, specifically, Aogeba Toutoshi changed from a masquerade ceremony to a demonstration. The tradition was positioned as an educational practice in the 1980s but was abolished in the 2010s because of school building remodeling and other changes in school traditions. In the present age of sovereign education, the practice can be re-evaluated as an ambitious school tradition with the aim to foster free and independent citizens.
