This report investigates the movement to build a day nursery in Kori-Danchi at Hirakata, Osaka in the 1960s. Through this movement, the participants, both male and female, have come to recognize that "the private is social". This awareness reassesses the idea and the logic behind the gender division of labor, quickly gaining acknowledgement at that time, which emphasized housework as being the responsibility of women. For the male, the movement has provided an opportunity to question what it is to be a "man". Women's history tends to consider movements of establishing day nurseries in postwar Japan as those for working mothers'. However, this case study, written from the standpoints of Gender Studies, clarifies the fact that fathers had played important roles in this undertaking. Men and women have cooperated equally in the neighborhood by bringing up children together. This paper documents the above points by referring to the archives of the era and from the interview of Yoshiko Hashimoto, who has taken part in the movement along with her husband.
