JAPANESE SAMURAI / Raichō Hiratsuka
Raichō Hiratsuka (real name: Haru Hiratsuka) was born in 1886 in Tokyo into a wealthy, privileged family during Japan’s Meiji era. At that time, women were expected to conform to the societal model of ryōsai kenbo — the “good wife, wise mother. ” This philosophy shaped the entire education system for girls, emphasizing domestic skills such as sewing, child-rearing, and obedience, rather than intellectual development or professional ambitions.
