Kaisei School

Japanese: 開成学校 - かいせいがっこう

Its predecessor was the Bansho Shirabesho, an institute established by the shogunate as a central institute for Western studies during the Edo period. It was renamed the Yosho Shirabesho in 1862, and the following year it was renamed Kaiseisho, remaining until the end of the Edo period. In 1868, the new government re-established it under the name Kaisei School, which subsequently became Daigaku Minami School, Minami School, Daigaku-ku Daiichi-ichi Junior High School, and finally Kaisei School was established as a technical school in 1873. In 1874 it was renamed Tokyo Kaisei School, and in 1877 it merged with Tokyo Medical School to form the University of Tokyo, becoming the parent institution of its three faculties of law, science, and humanities.
