「教育ニ関スル勅語」（教育勅語）の原本が半世紀ぶりに確認されました。このところの「右傾化」や「道徳教育」とあいまってのこのタイミング。「お宝」捜索の命令でもあったのでしょうか。
Original Meiji Rescript on Education believed discovered
A document believed to be an original manuscript of the Imperial Rescript on Education, which laid out the principles of national education from the Meiji era (1868-1912) until the end of World War II, has been found after last being seen 50 years ago, according to the education ministry.
The document will be moved from Tokyo National Museum’s library, where it was found, to the National Archives of Japan, in line with a law for preserving official documents, the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry said Tuesday.
It is expected to go on public display eventually, it added.
The Imperial Rescript on Education was issued in 1890 and focused on morals, including filial piety, loyalty and patriotism. But the rescript was believed co-opted into the militaristic education system before and during the war and was abolished in 1948.
The announcement said the original manuscript was reportedly put on public display at a Nihonbashi, Tokyo department store in 1962, but the ministry lost track of the document afterward.
