21st-Century Gojundo
Gojundo〔五惇堂〕 was originally established in 1803 (Kyowa 3) as the first gogaku in the Isesaki domain.
It began as a private school founded by local volunteers including Yusei Miyazaki〔宮崎有成〕, Jiuemon Yoshiaki Fukamachi (mathematics)〔深町重右衛門吉明(和算)〕, and Sakuemon Takai〔高井作右衛門〕, and was later officially recognized by the domain in 1808 (Bunka 5).
“21st-Century Gojundo〔21世紀五惇堂〕” is an independent organization created to inherit the educational spirit of Edo-period Gojundo, supporting local learning and creative activities.
