Our study intended to contribute to improvement of Japanese special education through investigating the characteristic of the Japanese special education during about one hundred and fifty years while making special education of the Western advanced countries a reference axis. As a result of our examination of Japanese history of the special education from the Meiji era to the present, we found that Japanese officials and the people both, didn't have little interest, but the materials shortage as a developing country couldn't be corrected that partiality of a special education system. And special education was promoted in a high economic growth period in the postwar, but the community special education system couldn't be built. In Japanese special education, the import of the theory and technology of special education from the Western advanced countries and their popularization in the special education circles have disturbed to establish the independent Japanese special education.
