In September 1869, a Naval Training Center was established in Tsukiji. It was renamed the Naval Academy in 1870 and the Naval Academy in 1876, and moved to Etajima in 1888, and has supported Japan's Navy as a training school for naval officers. Just as many former Shogunate served the Meiji New Government and contributed to the modernization of Japan, the former Shogunate also served in the Naval Military Dormitories, and in particular, Professor Noriyoshi Akamatsu from Numazu Military School of the Shizuoka Domain (Tokugawa Family) Many excellent human resources were provided, such as Professor Yoshiyoshi Yamamoto and the first-year capital student Masanori Nishio.
This time, together with the Naval Academy in Tsukiji, we will introduce Numazu Military School, which is closely related to it.
■Numazu Military School
The Shogunate was dismantled, but in the Shizuoka Domain, where the Tokugawa family was relocated, Numazu Military School was opened in 1868 at the site of Numazu Castle Ninomaru to establish a military school for training officers. The highest school in Numazu, which is at the forefront of the era not only merely training officers, was born in Numazu.
Abe and Soroku Ebara worked hard to establish Numazu Military School. Amane Nishi, the first principal of the school and the former enlightenment scholar of the era, was appointed. The students who are said to be Shigyo students were selected by examination by clansman of Tokugawa. The exams were conducted from the first to the eighth term, and about 200 students joined the course and became qualified students.
The subjects included English and French, Chinese studies, mathematics, instrument studies, drawings, horse riding, gunnery, and maneuvering. The professors included language Atsushi Watanabe (translator of the Aesop story) and Taroitsu Otsukotsu. Because he actively taught mathematics that was not popular, he was called "Mathematics Numazu", and produced many engineering officers.
The reputation of military schools has increased nationwide, lending to other clans has begun to be carried out, and excellent human resources have gradually disappeared from military schools. In particular, in the Meiji government, when the establishment of an army and marine military dormitory was planned, even better human resources were pulled out. In May 1872, it was absorbed into the new government army dormitory and disappeared in more than three years, but its personnel were active in a wide range of fields such as the Army, Navy, government officials, education and business circles, contributing to the modernization of Japan.

On January 20, 2019, a ceremony commemorating the 150th anniversary of the founding of Numazu Military School was held at the Numazu Citizens' Culture Center.
Professor Yuhiko Higuchi of the National Museum of History and Folklore will give a lecture entitled "What to Learn from Numazu Military School" by the 18th head of the Tokugawa Soke family, Tsunetaka Tokukawa, "On the 150th anniversary of the founding of Numazu Military School". On the day, sales of "Numazu Junior High School Memorial Magazine" (1,000 yen per copy).
The Numazu Military School, established by the Tokugawa family who ruled the Shizuoka clan, celebrated its 150th anniversary, and on the 20th, the commemorative ceremony and the unveiling ceremony of the monument attached to the school (Tachinuma Tsu Hospital of the Shizuoka clan) were held in Numazu City. We planned to learn about the achievements of the school, which practiced an advanced education system and produced human resources who contributed to the modernization of Japan.Invited Mr. Iehiro, 53, the eldest son of the 18th Tokugawa family head, Tsunetaka Tokugawa, to unveil the monument of Numazu Hospital on the north side of the municipal first elementary school on the site of the hospital. Tomiko Suzuki, 83, a great-grandchild of Gentan Sugita, the first director of the hospital, also attended the event and pulled down at the invitation of the host. Mr. Suzuki, who saw the completed monument, said, "I am full of gratitude that I can't speak."At the ceremony held prior to the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Iehiro and Professor Yuhiko Higuchi of the National Museum of History and Folklore gave a commemorative lecture. Mr. Iehiro explained the background of the establishment of a military school and the contents of education. Professor Higuchi introduced Ukichi Taguchi, who promoted free trade theory, and former students who were active in politics. He pointed out five points, including rebellious spirit and learning foreign languages and different cultures, and emphasized that "there are countless things to be taken from military schools."
The first elementary school in Japan was opened in Numazu Castle in September 1868 as a Daigikan, and later as an elementary school attached to Numazu Military School, and is still the first elementary school in Numazu City.
Former shogunate retainers who moved to Numazu focused on educating their children even in a difficult life, and in September 1868, he started a school called 'daigikan.' The tenement house in the sojoji was placed on the school building, a goza, and a shutter was used for the blackboard. In December, it was taken over by the elementary school attached to Numazu Military School, and became the first school in Japan.
The students were warriors and children of common people over the age of 7 or 8, and the subjects were arithmetic, geography, gymnastics, horse riding, swimming, etc., and later became an advanced elementary school with English and French. In 1872, the school system was established, and this elementary school became a school called Shuseisha. After that, while changing the name of the school many times, such as 'Numazu Ko,' it was developed into the current Daiichi Elementary School and Daini Elementary School while repeating integration, separation, and new establishment.

For young students, pre-students and middle-aged students are changed to main students. There were many students with magnificent skins of Sojikitori and the sail breeze was floating. It is said that the rough warriors in the history of war dismissed the instructor who did not know the battlefield, and fought with the instructor's office.
In July 1873, after the arrival of U.K., Major General Kuranosuke Nakamuta, the Military School, was appointed as a naval officer with five officers, 12 lower officers, and 16 sailors from the U.K., Maj. Gen. Kuranosuke Nakamuta, a military school. Major Douglas presupposed that "be a gentleman before being an officer," a British Navy officer-style gentleman education.

The Wooden Department of the Navy looked like a poor and small storeroom. The facilities are also ready.

The main purpose of Numazu Military School was to train the army, but at the same time, the fact that human resources were also active in the Navy learned modern military law from France, and the new Meiji government was able to form an army immediately. I knew that the education of Numazu Military School was a pioneer.
Until now, the Tokugawa shogunate collapsed, and I wondered what happened to the shogunate's human resources on behalf of the Meiji government. Kaishu Katsu, Tesshu Yamaoka, Takeaki Enomoto, etc. were famous for their human resources, but it was also known that the new Meiji government utilized human resources from the bakufu.
