The movement of the scientification of Homemaking Education in Japan had been put forward to some extent before World War II. The leading figure of this movement was Kozo Kondo (1873〜1955), professor at Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School. He was a scholar of physics and chemistry, but he recognized that his position was to center on the training of homemaking teachers, and the aim of Homemaking Education is in the improvement of living conditions of the nation. To accomplish this aim the knowledge of natural sciences and their experimental attitude contributes greatly. Therefore he not only taught his students but also wrote excellent textbooks and reference books, which were widely read. Some of his followers grew up to be prominent figures in Home Economics and Homemaking Education after the war.
