• Geography had been taking part in developing better understanding and recognition of society Japanese citizen (Shinmin) was supposed to bear in mind, along with required subjects as history and moral in the school. Japanese sacrificed themselves for the emperor state and society till the end of World War II. But this subject had remained unpopular and unwelcomed among pupils and students as well as teachers. Many attempts had been tried to improve school geography theoretically and practically. Tunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) who is very well-known as the first president of Soukagakkai, one of the most powerful buddist groups in Japan. He had tried to cope with this problem. The aim of this study is to make clear his reform theory on school geography by investigating his major papers and books dealing with this problem in the Taisho era. The results are as follows; he regarded school geography as core subject for developing social comprehension indispensable to the citizens. And he proposed the original principles of the subject contents and teaching methods that would certainly realize the new goals of the subject. To explain this, Makiguchi insisted that the subject contents should include "Jinsei Chirigaku" (Makiguchi geography), a sort of general geography, and in accordance with the theory of instruction proposed by the school of Herbart, children and students should recognize these contents intutively in their familiar environments and, by taking advantage of these contents, they should study regional geography contents. His proposals were too radical to be realized in the world of education at that time.
