Today pupils are taught the importance of human rights at schools in Japan. Although there are lots of Burakumin(部落民)people who have been traditionally discriminated in Japan, it is usual that their history, of discrimination and the struggle for human rights, is not told in detail, while some teachers make their own teaching materials to make their pupils form the right images to the minority in the same race as the majority. Thinking this as a problem, the author focuses on YAMAKAMI Takuju1) (山上卓樹， 1855-1931), an activist in a social movement, businessman and owner of a private school in Hachiôji(八王子), in the western suburbs of Tôkyô. He was born in a well-off Burakumin family at a strictly separated village, because main vocations of the villagers, related to beasts’ meats and skins, were hated. After meeting the theory of Christianity, everybody being equal, he built a Catholic church under the guidance of French missionaries. Although the newly established national authority made a modern schooling system, primary schools in Hachiôji shut the discriminated children out. Yamakami established a school for them in the church, and became the headmaster. But afterwards, a big fire which made the church burnt down, and the Catholic missionaries’ changing its target of propagation to the upper and middle classes of Japan, weakened the villagers’ passion of education. Yamakami remained to be a statesman, but he failed in business and lost his influences at the beginning of the 20th century. It is regrettable that this history above is commonly not taught at classes in Hachiôji City now. So it is necessary for pupils, including discriminated children, to be taught local history and encouraged to live their lives.
