After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan fully opened its doors to transplanting and developing the capitalistic mechanical industries. The science education policy combining with the Japanese industriarization policy made much of scientific instruments for the educational systems. Not long after importing physical and chemical instruments from the U. S. A. and Europe, their home production was strongly promoted by the Meiji Government for reasons of their production being one of the examples which were connected with the modern technology and science, developing new manufacturers, and diminishing the importations for economy. THe scientific instruments for schools totally began to be manufactured at the factory of the Manufacturing School affiliated with the Tokyo Kaisei School (Tokyo Kaisei Gakko Seisakugakukyojyo Kosakujyo) after 1874. Several scientific instrument makers were established in 1880's, depending on the school markets all over the country which had been opened by the government. Some of the founders of the instrument makers were educated mainly or partly at the government factories, in which some foreign teachers engaged as leaders. One of them studied manufacturing precision instruments in Austria after being dispatched to the Wien international exposition in 1873. They modeled American and European scientific instruments, many of which were imported by the educational administrators who attended the various international expositions. They were executively supported by the Educational Museum of the Education Ministry, the predecessor of the National Science Museum. They also founded national expositions as the arena of studying and trading. Some of them had been craftsmem during the feudal age engaging in metal-working, metal-engraving and wood-working for swords and religous furnishings. Many craftsmen of the feudal age were ruined in the new age, but some of them developed as scientific-manufacturers depending on the promoting policy of science education linking to the Japanese industriarization policy.
