In the early modern period in Japan, interest in education increased throughout society. The Sengoku period of the Middle Ages, which was chaotic due to constant wars, ended, and the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, ushered in the so-called era of peace. In a political atmosphere dominated by literary principles, there was a marked shift from the traditional politics of powerlessness to politics that sought social stability through the spread of Confucianism. Literary society in particular took on unprecedented social and cultural characteristics. Even before the Tokugawa shogunate was established, Jesuit missionaries had become interested in Japanese methods of teaching reading and writing, and there was a positive view of the operation of society with documents. In this article, we examine the didacticism in Bakin’s works and his ideas on education as a teacher. It can be said that Bakin was the author who placed the most importance on didacticism among writers of Yomihon because of his attitude of enlightenment.
