The theme of this paper is making the plan of "History of Daitoa" clear. The plan was an attempt to remodel "Oriental History" in historical sciences and education. The author of this paper clarifid the project which produced the plan of "History of Daitoa", analaysed this text, and pointed out the back-ground of this plan. The ministry of Education started making the plan in 1942,corresponding to Japanese invasion to Asian countries. It needed to construct a hisyory of Asia based on new concepts, as Japan had been coverd larger area and more various cultures. But the planing of making new history of Asia had already started as early as in 1930s among scolars of Oriental history and research of Asian countries. They aimed to renew contents and methods about Asian studies, going with Japanese invasion. So they introduced the viewpoints of geography, ethnology, philology, and more to the study of "Oriental History". The text of "History of Daitoa" is also regarded as the 'accademical fruits'of WW II period in Japan.
