This study clarifies the education of the history of Japanese literature from the end of the Meiji Era to the early Showa Era. In the Taisho Era, although not prescribed in the laws, contents on the history of Japanese literature were recorded in a textbook for junior high schools under the pre-war education system. The history of Japanese literature was taught during this era because it imparted Japanese national virtues. In addition, understanding Japanese Heian literature was required to enter upper school divisions, and the history of Japanese literature was required as a prerequisite to learn Japanese Heian literature. Furthermore, knowledge of the history of Japanese literature was considered as commonsense by the Japanese people in the early Showa Era.
