On August 3, 1872 (Meiji 5), the new government announced an educational system establishing the foundation of modern institutional education. Elementary schools were founded throughout the nation by order of the new educational regulations, as appointed by way of the elementary school teaching regulations (Shogaku Kyosoku). The tenets of this regulation were undertaken by each prefectural education committee, and incorporated with consideration of the different prefectural situations. This paper is centered on nation-wide facts of how handiwork (Shugei) (Saiho) was acquired, and its trends or differentiations developed from each prefectural teaching regulation.At the time the new regulations went into effect, the percentage of school attendance for females was very low and, moreover, Japanese dressmaking education for females was not under serious consideration. Only a part of female elemetary schools (Joji Shogaku), or a portion of prefectures that intended to spread education assigned the study of Japanese dressmaking. Gradually, however, the study of Japanese dressmaking became a required subject. Japanese dressmaking education under the prefectural teaching regulation of 1875 and 1876 (Meiji 8-9) was one of the primary forces in extending female education in Japan.
