Moritomo Gakuen (学校法人森友学園, Gakkō hōjin Moritomo Gakuen) is a Japanese private school operator, most known for its involvement in a 2017 political scandal implicating former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe and his wife, Akie.
Moritomo Gakuen began as a kindergarten (preschool) operated by Yasunori Kagoike . Kagoike implemented a nationalist curriculum at the school which included daily recitations of the Imperial Rescript on Education, a practice employed at schools in the Empire of Japan from 1890 to 1945.[1] Moritomo Gakuen is controversial about teaching anti-Korean education.[2][3][4]
There has been a scandal over Osaka school operator Moritomo Gakuen's questionable dealings with government officials to get a sweetheart deal on state land for a new school. There were shocking revelations about the anti-Chinese and anti-Korean xenophobia of the operators.
