Modern pedagogy in Japan has followed various trends in Western pedagogy by importing methods and technologies from Western countries without investigating deeply their roots and thoughts. This typical trend in Japan, namely superficial Western acceptance, continues to this day. Why is such Western reception typical in Japan? The reason goes back to the rapid modernization of theMeijiera (1868–1912). Therefore this article begins with a brief overview ofMeiji’s modernization based onwakon yōsai(和魂洋才, Japanese spirit with Western learning) as the background, furthermore it focuses on the acceptance of Western education. Next, as a typical case of this reception, it will describe the acceptance of German education reformer Peter Petersen’s Jena-Plan by the famous Japanese pedagogue Sumie Kobayashi. The paper then clarifies the characteristics and problems of Kobayashi’s reception of the Jena-Plan, and finally it will suggest further tasks for studies.
