Shoheizaka Academy

Japanese: 昌平坂学問所 - しょうへいざかがくもんしょ

A place of learning for the Edo Shogunate, a directly controlled school. Also called Shoheiko. In 1691, Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved the Hayashi family private school, along with the church, from Shinobugaoka in Ueno, Edo to Yushima, and it gradually became an official school. It was the head temple of the Shogunate's education, and the Hayashi family presided over it as the head of the university, lecturing on Neo-Confucianism. When the Kansei era banned heretical learning, the school was renamed from Shoheiko to Shoheizaka Gakumonsho, and the educational system that was dependent on the Hayashi family was reformed. In 1792, accommodation for instructors and lecture halls were built, and it was developed into a school. In addition to the children of samurai, the general public was allowed to attend classes. After the Meiji Restoration, it was renamed Shohei Gakko and then Daigakko, but was abolished in 1871. →Yushima Seido→Related itemsAsaka Gonsai｜Otsuki Iwakei｜Okada Kansen｜Private school｜New edition of the Sagami Province Topography｜New edition of the Musashino Topography｜University Head｜Cabinet Library｜Hayashi Razan

江戸幕府の学問所，直轄学校。昌平黌(こう)ともいう。1691年将軍徳川綱吉が江戸上野忍岡から聖堂とともに林家の家塾を湯島に移し，次第に官学化したもの。幕府教学の本山という位置にあり，林家が大学頭(だいがくのかみ)として主宰，朱子学を講じた。寛政異学の禁に際し，昌平黌から昌平坂学問所に改称，林家に依存した教育体制を改め，1792年には教官宿舎，講舎も建立され，学校としての整備が進んだ。旗本の子弟などのほか，一般の聴講も許すこととした。明治維新ののち昌平学校，次いで大学校と改称されたが，1871年廃止。→湯島聖堂
