Primary School Songbooks (Japanese)

The Primary School Songbooks (, Shōgaku Shōka Shū) are a series of songbooks compiled for school education by the Japanese Ministry of Education's music education group (), which was founded in 1879 by Isawa Shuji. The songbooks were published from 1879 through 1884 in three volumes. The staff notation were used for the first time in Japan.
Volume I included 33 songs; Volume II, 16 songs; and Volume III, 42 songs. They were mostly originally made Japanese songs, but included some transalted songs, such as from ""Hänschen klein" in Volume 1, from "" in Volume II, and from "The Last Rose of Summer"" in Volume III.
