Abstract

One of the most important tools through which first grade students learn about the world is school textbooks. The information gained during this period may have a strong impact on views about reality presented at later stages of life. This article is an attempt to analyze the image of masculinity in Japanese textbooks used since 2015 in the first semester of the first year of elementary school. The results show that the image of masculinity presented in the textbooks is based primarily on such traits as family orientation and caring. As such this image can be classified as a new type of masculinity model, contradicting the traditional model portrayed as busy employee.
