Tekijuku

Tekijuku is a preserved school building from the late Edo period, located in the financial heart of Osaka. Founded by the physician and scholar Ogata Koan in 1838, it was one of Japan's first private schools dedicated to Western studies (Rangaku). The two-story wooden structure, with its distinctive white facade and black tiled roof, stands as a quiet contrast to the modern office towers around it. Visitors can explore tatami-matted classrooms, view original Dutch medical texts, and see exhibits on the school's role in training future leaders of Japan's modernization. The atmosphere is scholarly and serene, offering a glimpse into the intellectual ferment of pre-Meiji Japan.

Um pouco de história

Ogata Koan established Tekijuku to teach Dutch language, medicine, and science. It produced many notable alumni, including Fukuzawa Yukichi, who later founded Keio University. The building was moved from its original site and reconstructed here in the 1960s.
