Jogaku Sekai (女学世界, meaning in the World of Women's Learning or Women's Education World English) was a Japanese women's magazine published by Hakubunkan in Tokyo, Japan. The magazine was in circulation between January 1901 and June 1925 during the Meiji era.
History and profile
The first issue of Jogaku Sekai appeared in January 1901. It was one of the titles produced by the publishing company, Hakubunkan.[1] The magazine targeted girls and young women without no political or feminist approach.[2] Instead, it had a traditional approach towards women and attempted to provide and emphasize the points lacking in women’s education in Japan and to produce "wise wives and good mothers."[3]
Jogaku Sekai mostly covered fiction and published articles on hobbies of Japanese women, including as tea ceremony and composing waka poetry.[3] The magazine became very popular among the Japanese women and was the highest circulation title of Hakubunkan.[3] Major contributors were Japanese educators and intellectuals such as Nishimura Shigeki and Miwata Masako.[3] Jogaku Sekai folded in June 1925.[4]
