    FORMAL EDUCATION

    IN THE MIDDLE AGES (500-1600 AD) IN JAPAN

    The history of education in Japan dates back at least to the 6th century, when Chinese
    learning was introduced at the Yamato court. Foreign civilizations have often provided
    new ideas for the development of Japan's own culture.

    Chinese teachings and ideas flowed into Japan from the sixth to the 9th century. Along
    with the introduction of Buddhism came the Chinese system of writing and its literary
    tradition, and Confucianism.

    By the 9th century, Heian-kyo (today's Kyoto), the imperial capital, had five institutions
    of higher learning, and during the remainder of the Heian period, other schools were
    established by the nobility and the imperial court. During the medieval period (1185-
    1600), Zen Buddhist monasteries were especially important centers of learning, and the
    Ashikaga School, Ashikaga Gakko, flourished in the 15th century as a center of higher
    learning
