was a Japanese educator of the Meiji period. ==Biography== Isawa Shūji was born in 1851 in the Takatō Domain, Shinano Province, to an impoverished samurai family. Shūji's father, Isawa Katsusaburō (伊澤勝三郎, also known as Bunkoku 文谷), was a fairly low-ranking samurai secretary for the Takatō Domain, and was also an amateur artist. Shūji's mother was Uchida Take (内田多計). As a teenager, Isawa took part in the recently formed Dutch-style military drum and fife marching band in the Takatō Domain. He also studied at the Takato Domain school, Shintokukan (進徳館). In 1869, Isawa Shūji moved to Tōkyō to reside with his uncle, the renowned physician Suda Tairei (須田泰嶺). While in Tōkyō, Isawa briefly studied English privately with the missionary Christopher Carrothers and also with Nakahama Manjirō, and in 1870 Isawa was selected to represent the Takatō Domain as a student at the newly formed Daigaku Nankō (predecessor of the University of Tokyo). In 1872, Isawa began working for the Japanese Ministry of Education and was dispatched to Aichi, where he served as the director of a teachers college. However, he was terminated from his ministry position after a dispute. In 1873 he began working for the Ministry of Industry (Japan), but in 1874 he was allowed to return to the Ministry of Education. In 1874, Isawa married Mori Chiyo (森千代), the daughter of a former Tokushima Domain samurai. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isawa Shūji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
