Modern education in Japan started when an educational system was proclaimed in 1872, five years after the Meiji Restoration which was a people’s revolution. However, in the Edo period (1603–1868), which is known as the beginning of the early modern period of Japan, preceding the Meiji period (1868–1912), there were private primary schools called Terakoya in spite of the fact that a feudal society existed.
