This paper attempted to analyze the notion of 'home' as conceived by Masako Miwada (1843-1923), a Meiji era educator who contributed a long series of articles on girls' education to a women's magazine 'Jyokan' (1891-1909). How she had sought to have her readers accept the idea of 'home' was analyzed by extracting the parts where the word 'home' appeared from the series of the magazine articles. The findings may be summarized in the following five points: 1. She insists that women should display feminine virtues at home, 2. that moral education of children by women at home is more important than that taught at school, 3. that affectivity should be maintained in the home, the responsibility for which rests with women, while the family order should be based on monogamy, 4. and that women, who are responsible for the domestic affairs, should apply the knowledge of home economics acquired at school, 5. Masako Miwada shows the difference between the Japanese and the Western families. She maintained that the women's education as summarized above was the way for the girls to become the respectable Japanese citizens. In other words, she regarded the 'home' as providing a foundation for female citizenship.
