Early Showa period was not only the establishment of Japan's total war system,but also the period from the peak of the Japanese invasion to the collapse of Japan.In the meantime,Japan's national defense policy underwent a major readjustment from the north to the south and the south to the south,and the local defense and post-war aid and soldiers supply fell on women.Coupled with the traditional concept of good wife and mother education and family ideas,Japanese women become the focus of national defense education enlightenment.In this context,the Japanese government,through the Education Review Council and the Greater East Asia Construction Review Council,has formulated a series of policies on women's education that provide national defense education to school-based female students,mothers in families and women's groups in society,Nationalization of education,family education and social education.The Japanese government has mentally,physically and practically mobilized females to carry out so-called "homeland defense" and instilled the concept of the state body,the concept of national defense and the concept of women's morality into women and prepared them for the purpose of getting rid of private masturbation.In addition,according to the actual needs of the war,women are required to conduct air defense training and martial arts training so as to enhance their physical and defense capabilities and actively participate in the government's social activities organized as a result of the war.Based on the analysis of the Japanese education laws and regulations,women's textbooks,women's magazines and women's group documents,we can find that there are three characteristics as follows: Emphasis on both the concept of the royal state and the concept of virtuous mother and wife;Prominent practicality of women's defense skill knowledge;The purpose of education militarization.Through the study of national defense education in early stage of Republic of Korea,I found that it has an important influence on the development of Japaneseforeign war,the social status of women and the development of women's education.First of all,the early Republican women's national defense education reached the expected effect of the Japanese government and played a role in fueling the war of aggression launched by the Japanese authorities.Second,the women's national defense education in the early period of the Showa era brought "nationalization" to women,that is to say,they participated in the war and took part in the political affairs.However,in fact,Japanese women served the country instead of realizing their own liberation.Therefore,the social status of Japanese women did not improve.In the end,the national defense education for Japanese women in the early Showa period not only solidified the education view of Japan's good wife and good wife,the modern Japanese women's education completely deviated from the track of modern education,but also hindered the development of Japanese women's education.In short,as a measure for the Japanese government to mobilize women to support Japan's aggressive war of aggression against Japan,national defense education for women has been marked by the militarism of the women's national defense education under the rule of Japan's Fascist military.
