The basis of human life is courtesy.  Beginning with how to greet others, how to eat, how to bow, how to walk, how to visit others and how to offer hospitality to others, courtesy is expressed as a “form,” but the “form” must include the “spirit.”  With the spirit of caring about others, being modest and helping each other, courtesy embodies the beautiful form for the first time.  Students learn the spirit that’s appropriate for a person who contributes to the society, and a mother who takes on the responsibility for education at home, in the mainstream of decorum, Ogasawara School of Decorum.  Furthermore, students learn about traditional Japanese culture and annual events, and they acquire knowledge as a true cosmopolitan with full understanding of their own culture.
   Understanding the “spirit” of human nature, which is closely related to our everyday life cannot be done in a short period of time.  It must be slowly cultivated with care through learning in repetitions in daily school life and under an unchanging unified educational principle in the relaxed continuous education system.  It is to acquire the “spirit” of human nature, such as greeting others, thinking from others’ perspective, taking care of the self, treasuring things, not causing others trouble, and respecting the elderly.  In addition, students learn the lost education at home, in decorum.  Students cultivate a spirit that’s appropriate in becoming a mother for the future, including knowledge of meals, table setting, and domestic duties.  By learning in repetitions during the period of spiritual growth from primary school to university, courtesy, etiquette, Japanese traditional culture and its spirit can be fostered for the first time.
