Figure 1.--These children at the Kasaoka primary school are participating in their graduation ceremoies on a frizly day (March 18 2010). Notice that handicapped children are now mainstreamed in the school program. We are not sure what the building is, but it doesnot look like a school building.

There is also a ceremony when a child graduates from primary school. We are not sure about these ceremonies before World War II. One important difference wasc that before the War, most children ended their schooling after finishing primnary school. Now of course, primary school is just the beginning other education. We are not to sure about the immediate post-War era, but since the 1960s, these ceremonies have been fairly standard, although every school has their own unique approaches. The only change we notice is the style of clothing or uniforms worn at some of the schools. The proprtion of uniform schools has not changed significantly over the years, but there are differences in the styles worn.
