This is the first interview on the Tokyo Domestic Science Research Institute (1933-1935) and its education to its graduates. On June 2nd, 1997,Professor SUZUKI Toshiko and I have done the interview to the graduates from the Institute, which was coordinated by Dr. KOURA Tomi. KOURA Tomi was one of the most famous women in the movement for peace and women in Japan. Before World War II, she had dedicated herself to women's education through this institute and others. In this institute, she had tried to educate the young women with practices and experiences of their own. The Institute built in 1933,and it was closed in 1935. The number of graduates was approximately 20,and they are all over 70 years old now. But they have clear memories of their young school days in the institute, and their teachers. This is one of the most important record on home economics education and it gives important hints for home economics today. In part 1,I described the circumstances of the interview, the establishment of the Institute, the motive behind entering the Institute, its teachers and the education.
