*''Japanese'': 明倫館 ''(Meirinkan)''
The Meirinkan was the chief [[domain school]] in [[Choshu han|Chôshû han]]. Established as a ''[[rangaku]]'' school in [[1719]], in the [[Bakumatsu period]] it became a center of Western studies more broadly.
[[Korean embassies to Edo]] are known to have engaged in scholarly and artistic exchanges with figures based at the Meirinkan, when the Koreans passed through Chôshû on their way to or from [[Edo]].<ref>''Chôsen tsûshinshi to Okayama'', Okayama Prefectural Museum, 2007, 55.</ref>
[[Yoshida Shoin|Yoshida Shôin]] led efforts to revive the school in [[1848]]; over the next several years, it was expanded, and a section for military science (''heigaku'') established.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 51, 164, 184, 186.</ref>
In [[1856]]/11, the domain combined several other academies - the Kôseikan 好生館 and the Seiyô gakusho (Western Studies Institute) - into the Meirinkan.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 2 (1937), 273.</ref>
