Abstract

<p>The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between Nobuo Ishimori and the 5th term National Textbook compiled during World War II. In particular, the author focuses on the following two points: (1) the reason Ishimori was invited to the Ministry of Education, and (2) the characteristics of his teaching materials and basis for his ideas.</p><p>This paper clarifies three reasons for his invitation to the Ministry of Education. First, there was a demand for educational contents. This means he was expected to write teaching materials on “East Asia.” Second, there was a demand for educational methodology, and he was an irreplaceable editor of the integrated textbook. Finally, there were requirements from the educational administration. The Ministry of Education planned to make textbooks to spread the Japanese language in foreign countries.</p><p>Regarding the contents of the teaching material, Japanese militaristic and ethnocentric character based on “ethnic nationalism” was confirmed. This made Ishimori a competent textbook editor who could meet the demands of the times.</p>
