The evolution of the concept of cultivation in modern Japan: The idea of cultivation in the 1930s
The Japanese word Kyoyo (translated as cultivation in this study) embodies a concept which has had significant influence on intellectuals and has shaped higher education in Japan from the 1910s until the present. Kyoyo (cultivation) is a common Japanese word to indicate characteristics of educated persons, but its meaning is different from education or school education in the strict sense of the word. Kyoyo (cultivation) has much to do with the substance of the effects of education or self-education such as character building.
