Kinnosuke Ogura (1885-1962) was a mathematician, who introduced Perry's movement into Japan in the 1920s. His educational theory became a target for criticism in the 1960s on the grounds that it lacked logical and abstract aspect of mathematics. However this criticism holds true only at his Sugaku kyoiku no Konpon mondai (1924), but not at his later works. In Sugaku Kyoiku no Konpon mondai, he attached great importance on intuition, for it promoted students to think by self and to construct mathematical conception in their own ways, while he regarded mathematical logic as restraint of students'spontaneous thought. But in the 1930s works, he replaced 'intuition'with 'logic for children'. The intuition became no longer incompatible with mathematical logic. In addition he became to accept disciplinary value of mathematics education. What is more, getting powerfull in actual problem-solving, his theory got suitable to the need of militaristic empowerment in time of the Pacific War.
