The school covered some 3,350 ''[[Japanese Measurements|tsubo]]'' on the site of the domain's chief Confucian Hall (''seidô'' or ''senseiden''), and included lecture halls and lodgings for [[samurai]] students who came from outside of the city. It was established simultaneously with a school of martial arts known as the [[Enbukan]]. [[Tachibana Nankei]], a scholar from [[Kyoto]] who visited Kagoshima in [[1782]]-[[1783]], wrote that it was large and beautiful, the best in the realm (i.e. in all of Japan). The school was officially named "Zôshikan" in [[1786]].
