Gluck’s argument does not explain why Yamaji Aizan strongly opposed Inoue Tetsujiro¯’s view of national moral education. 7Ito¯, Yu¯shi and Graham Squires, ‘The Search for Japanese Identity – Yamaji Aizan 1865–1917’, Shakai kagaku kenkyu¯ kiyo¯, 15-1 (1994), pp. 1–18. 8Tanaka Hiroshi, Kindai Nihon to riberarizumu (Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1993), p. v. 9Tanaka Hiroshi, Kindai Nihon to riberarizumu (Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1993), pp. vi–vii.

Sakamoto Takao, ‘Yamaji Aizan no shiso¯– Tokuni zenhanki no katsudo¯o chu¯shin toshite’, Gakushu¯in Daigaku Ho¯gakubu kenkyu¯ nenpo¯, no. 20 (1985), pp. 106–107. 12 Anon., ‘Bunkai jukketsu tokuten kettei happyo¯’, Bunsho¯ sekai, vol. 6, no. 13 (1911), pp. 120–1. 13 Tokutomi Soho¯, ‘Aizan Yamaji Yakichi kun’, Kokumin shimbun (20 March 1917), in O¯ kubo Toshiaki (ed.), Meiji bungaku zenshu¯ 35, Yamaji Aizan shu¯(Tokyo: Chikuma shobo¯, 1977), p. 417. According to Tokutomi Sohô’s recollection, Yamaji Aizan associated with others whether he knew them well or not and whether they were senior or junior. Yamaji had deep compassion for others and never showed heartless attitudes toward them. He was a ‘sunny and lively fellow’ and was hot- tempered, but never held a grudge against othes. He was also casual about himself, but was a moral person and never drank alcohol. He liked disputes with others while he was outside and was a ‘homely person’ at home. His children saw him as if he was their friend. He was a big eater and indulged in a nap if he got tried. If he got up, he read books. His hobbies were reading and walking. The suburbs of Tokyo, where he often walked around, were a ‘paradise’, which was next to Heaven to him.
