However, before going into the details of Ms. Paulsen's story, a short outline of the history of Kyushu Jo Gakuin and the J-3 program follows. Kyushu Jo Gakuin / Janice James School The girl's school Kyushu Jo Gakuin was founded in 1926 in Kumamoto City on the island of Kyushu on the initiative of a group of women missionaries from the ULCA in cooperation with local Christians. The founder of the school and its first leader was Ms. Martha Bushong Akard (1887-1969). In her 2006 Akard-biography, Aoyama Shizuko clarifies how a church women's group's vision for secondary education for girls was transplanted by missionaries with the financial backing of their home church and the receptiveness of the Japanese merged to realize this initiative. The following section is, unless otherwise noted, based on Aoyama's excellent study. Aoyama outlines how formal education for girls grew in the US after the revolution in 1776 and sketches the significance of this in relation to the phenomenon of single women missionaries, exemplified by those who went to Japan for other denominations before the Lutherans in the late 19th century (13-26). In other words, this was a time when a growing number of American families including the Akards sent their daughters' to school. Martha B. Akard was born 17 April 1887, near modern Blountville, Tennessee (Aoyama 38). Her parents, Ida and Able Akard, were Lutherans and their church became a part of The United Synod, South (USS) when that synod was formed in Tennessee in 1886 (30). The USS sent the first American Lutheran missionaries Rev. James A. B. Scherer and Rev. Robert B. Peery to start a work in Japan in 1892 (42). Ms. Akard grew up in an environment supportive of missions to Japan in particular. Martha lost her mother in April 1900 and her father in January 1901. She had just finished the sixth and final grade of her primary school. Others made it possible for her to continue her education until she graduated from a girls' secondary school Marion College in 1905. For Martha the attraction of this particular

People who ended up as hinin were marginalized, yet in the early modern period their life was as well regulated as the rest of society. The focus of this article is on the organization of registered hinin in Osaka from 1600 to 1868. It will demonstrate how the hierarchical structuration influenced the hinin community, and it will argue that the organization of hinin gradually gave the power also over the authorities, so an observer by the middle of the nineeenth century could ask whether the organized hinin and the hinin 'living under the barns' were indeed the same sort of people, and concluded that he did not think so.
