Based on sociological and statistical data as well as on observations made through reviewing photographs, taken during 1950’s to 1970’s, of Japanese children’s daily life, it was suggested that due to drastic changes in physical and social environments for childrearing, two generations of Japanese have grown up with pervasive and serious difficulties in the formation of appropriate attitudes, body techniques and knowledge necessary for child rearing, so much so that modern Japanese society can be characterized as a society with severe failure in the formation of nurturance, both at the individual and the societal levels. It was also suggested that schools should and can take on the task of helping cultivate nurturance in younger generations of Japanese.
