Abstract

<p>During the Meiji era, Japan undertook rapid modernization to compete with Western powers. One of the cultural strategies employed by the government was the promotion of the <em>ryōsai kenbo</em> ideology—“good wife, wise mother”—to shape ideal women as domestic supporters of national progress. This study explores the development of <em>ryōsai kenbo</em> as a state policy in women&#039;s education, from the Charter Oath of 1868 and the Iwakura Mission to the Imperial Rescript on Education (1890) and the Girls&#039; High School Order (1899). Using a qualitative historical approach, the research analyzes how <em>ryōsai kenbo</em> reflected Japan’s effort to establish a functional and harmonious society, as explained through Talcott Parsons’ structural-functional theory. Findings show that although the ideology confined women to domestic roles, it simultaneously legitimized women’s access to education and redefined their societal significance. Rather than viewing <em>ryōsai kenbo</em> solely as a tool of subjugation, this article argues it was a strategic effort to construct a cohesive national identity through clearly defined gender roles. Thus, the ideology served both as a means of female domestication and a pillar of Japan’s modernization agenda.<strong></strong></p> <a href="https://gb777info.com">gb777</a><a href="https://pajak.blitarkota.go.id/uploads/profile/">gb777</a><a href="https://baak.uika-bogor.ac.id/uploads/">slot gacor</a><a href="https://siadmin.baak.uika-bogor.ac.id/files/images/">gb777</a><a href="https://jdih.dprd-pemalangkab.go.id/">gb777</a><a href="https://disnakertrans.bungokab.go.id/">GB777</a><a href="https://jdih.bungokab.go.id/">GB777</a>slot gacorslot gacor
