The 1873 academic system is the first university ward in Tokyo.
Transition to education in the old days of Sakamoto Elementary School and new school building!
Published in 1878, "Tokyo Elementary School Professor Soroku", 3rd generation Hiroshige Utagawa
1873 May 7, 1873 Opened the first public elementary school in Daiichi Junior High School District, Daiichi University District (15-18, Kabutocho, Nihonbashi)
Sakamoto Elementary School was declared a school system in 1872 and is the first school in Japan to be completed. Located in Kabuto-cho, Chuo-ku, Sakamoto Elementary School is located in the economic center called Wall Street in Japan. I am very sorry that this area is still focusing on economic education.
It has been the center of commerce for 270 years since the Edo period, and it seems that reading and writing abacus was learned at Terakoya and regarded the need for school as an urgent need.

Donation of "Phoco pendulum" from local people
"Phoco's pendulum" seems to have the desire to nurture "new discoveries, imagination, and intelligence".
Every morning, the principal is sending out the pendulum himself.
Donated monument commemorating the 150th anniversary of Sakamoto Elementary School
The school area of Sakamoto Elementary School is Kabuto-cho, Kayabacho 1, 2, 3-chome.
It seems to have been donated by companies and town councils who have been supported by many people, led by Chairman Teruyuki Anzai, the 150th anniversary commemorative project association. It conveys the strong feelings of local people who come to school.

Artwork of three collaborations between children and artists in the new school building
It is wonderful that there is artwork for children and artists, so I would like to introduce it.
1.The ceramic plate of the Momiji River, the main entrance on the west side of the second floor on the second floor (the pattern of each maple is stamped) The Momiji River, which was flowing in front of the school, is also sung in school songs. 1964 During the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, it was reclaimed as the Metropolitan Expressway.
2.The stained glass in the lunch room on the 5th floor is decorated with children's drawings under the theme of "Local Work and Sanno Festival". The stained glass of the securitiesman, which is a characteristic of this area, left an impression.
3.The 2nd floor east entrance "Connected Ring" Metal Relief Fu This is a design in which all school children hold hands toward the future. It is a relief that hopes that children who create their own image of the future and graduate one after another will feel the connection with the community when they return to the school building.
When I was guided around the school, the colors of ancient Japan were displayed on the display of the floor. The name of the color is also displayed, so I learned a lot.

Unique educational activities and Japanese music education
Education for understanding traditional culture in Japan
Japanese music education was realized by taking advantage of the blessed environment by inviting local Japanese music instructors. Japanese musical instruments are also well prepared so that children can practice everyday.
At the inauguration ceremony of the new school building, he performed Beethoven's song "Song of Joy" in Japanese music.
At the 150th anniversary ceremony, Japanese music performances "Edo Hymns" and Japanese dance by 4th to 6th graders were performed.
At the commemorative celebration at KABUTO ONE, woodworking and knitting were also performed by local people.
It's a scene of inheriting Japanese culture, "No. 1 school here is Sakamoto Elementary School", which is integrated into the community.
Chuo-ku specially recognized school system
Sakamoto, Joto, Kyobashi Tsukiji, Yasuaki, and Tokiwa Elementary School are designated as specially-approved schools as school areas with few children living.
In Chuo-ku, I go to school in the school district. In a specially-approved school, if there is enough capacity, it is a system that allows you to go to school from other school areas if you wish. If there are many applicants, it will be a lottery. School buses are operated free of charge from the Tsukishima and Harumi districts.
Introducing famous celebrities as graduates of Sakamoto Elementary School. It emits a large number of people, including literary writer Junichirou Tanizaki, Kabuki actor Sadanji Ichikawa, seismologist Fusakichi Omori.
The Kabuto-cho and Kayabacho areas are expected to be elementary schools located in the economic center of Japan, such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange and [KABUTO ONE].
