Tsunesaburo Makiguchi: A Bibliography
1871-1944

This bibliography was prepared by the Publications Department of the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century in hopes of furthering awareness and study of Makiguchi's philosophy of education. Since his writings first appeared, a Soka Education System based on Makiguchi's underlying principles has been founded by Daisaku Ikeda, encompassing K-12 and university level. Through these institutions, in Japan and the United States, a study of contemporary understanding and application of Makiguchi's principles has been fostered.
