When speaking of Confucian thought on women, words like “男尊女卑”(Manis superior to woman)and “三従四徳”(Three Obediences and Four Virtues)might be recalled immediately. They are regarded as the feudal dross thatoppressed Chinese women for three thousand years. For example, ChenDongyuan (1902-1978)once said that it was “男尊女卑” that made womenbecome the slaves and toys of men, and that was the product of Confucianism.However, such opinion was born in the context of social revolution, and usingthe modern concept to judge the values of old times is prejudiced, in myperspective. Therefore, this paper will discuss Confucian thought on womenwritten in the Book of Rites (『礼記』), which is considered to be the beginningof girls’ education, to learn the creed of Confucianism on teaching women at thatearly period.

文部科学省グローバルCOEプログラム 関西大学文化交渉学教育研究拠点松浦章教授古稀記念号[東アジアの思想と構造]Nakamura Tekisai (中村惕斎 1629-1702 ) a Confucian Scholar of the early Edo Period, wrote a training manual for girls of over 30 volumes. This manual, called Himekagami(比賣鑑)(meaning literally 'a mirror for young women') was well regarded as a training manual for girls, being highly praised by Fujii Ransai(藤井懶斎,1628-1709) a Confucian scholar and contemporary of Tekisai. Himekagami is unique in the history of girls' education in early modern Japan in that it devotes so many volumes solely to the instruction of young women. In order to understand the overall development of the thinking regarding female education during the Edo Period as well as Tekisai's specific views on the subject, this paper will examine the contents and unique characteristics of Himekagami, and will also analyze theories of female education in relation to Neo-Confucianism more generally.
