Most Japanese children wore traditional clothing in the early 20th century. This was especially true in primary schools. Some primary schools in cities adopted uniforms that had a military look. This was collar-buttoning lapelless jackets, and knee pants. One repor suggests a broad white collar. One common feature was often a military-styled cap. Secondary education was expanded, although it was still not free. We see mostly single gender secondary schools. A dew images shoew small numbers of girls. This may have been small schools in rural areas that fid not have a separate schools for girls. We are unsure aboiut the uniform. Some formal portraits show traditional clothing, but we are not entirely sure what was everyday wear in the classroom. We also see the cadet uniforms that became stafard at secondary schools.
