Founding of Meiji Village

The Meiji period was a time when Japan opened its doors to the world, introduced Western culture and institutions, assimilated them, and laid the foundation of modern Japan. It occupies an extremely important position in the cultural history of Japan, along with Asuka ・ Nara. Meiji architecture, therefore, built on the traditions and accumulation of excellent wooden architecture inherited from the Edo period, newly adopted Western styles ・technology ・and materials, introduced Western-style architecture of stone ・brick construction, and with the progress of the Industrial Revolution, laid the foundation for modern architecture using iron ・cement ・glass. The foundation was laid for modern architecture using iron cement glass as the industrial revolution progressed. Many of these buildings of artistic and historical value were lost in the earthquake ・ and other disasters of World War II, and many have disappeared due to the large and small public and private development projects that resulted from the rapid industrial growth of the postwar period. In order to regret the demolition of these cultural properties and to preserve them, Dr. Yoshiro Taniguchi （, the first director of the Museum Meiji-Mura ） and Motoo Tsuchikawa （, former chairman of Nagoya Railway Company ）, both of whom are now deceased alumni of the former Fourth Higher School, held talks together and worked together to preserve these properties. and with their cooperation, Meiji-mura was founded.
