Monument to the birthplace of Tsukiji Honganji Musashino Women's Academy

　A stone monument of the birthplace of Musashino Women's Academy is erected on the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, where Takeko Kujo's poetry monument is located, where you can relax and immerse yourself in history.

It seems that Musashino University has set up a stone monument.　From the university's website, I traced the history of women's schools.

 

 　Introduction to School History About the founder, Dr. Junjiro Takagusu explained the following:

Established Musashino Women's Academy with the ideal of "women's education based on Buddhistism." He is also a pioneer in positive thinking about the need for women's education and women's advancement in society. Received the Order of Culture in 1944.
