he purpose of this paper is to focus on the images of Japanese history asserted by Wakamori Taroh, an historian (1915-1977), and to clarify the characteristics in his theory on education. In the latter half of 1940s and to the 1950s, Wakamori intended to provide junior high school students with new images of Japanese history which he believed suitable for the newly -introduced democratic society after the World War II. However, the images of Japanese history presented by him was affected by Japanese Folklore, which was transformed singular features embedded in villages and towns into universal factors to form Japanese history. Therefore, his view resulted in representing Japanese nationals as homogeneous. During the war, he was involved in studies in Kokumin Seishin Bunka Kenkyujyo, an institute where Japanese Ideology were invented to justify World War II. In post war days, as he remained the basic flame of Japanese nationalism, his image of Japanese history, therefore, lacked respect for otherness of Asian people.
