At the end of last year (12, 2010), the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education published a draft of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's original history subject "From Edo to Tokyo" studying at Tokyo Metropolitan High School (pictured cover). It is necessary to continuously learn the history of Japan and understand the history and culture of its own country, and at the same time, the course "From Edo to Tokyo" will be set up, and trial introduction will be made in 2011.
The published textbook draft provides a comprehensive view of the historical changes of Tokyo over the modern, modern, and modern eras. In particular, the “Learning Window” corner has a mechanism to ask historical events and questions in the form of a question, and is edited so that the reader can think and judge. There are many photos and illustrations, so it's easy to understand. It features historical sites, cultural properties and Historic buildings as well as historical walks.
In order for ordinary members to learn about the history of Edo and Tokyo, they read a number of so-called historical books and specialized books and research books by field. However, there are not many books that have been briefly organized in history as regional history, so this textbook can be said to be a good publication for use as a supplementary reader.
