Dōmeisha (sold) (同盟舎)


Dōmeisha (同盟舎; fl. c. 1874 - 1890) was a Japanese publishing house of the Meiji era. It frequently collaborated with Aoki Sukekiyo (青木輔清), to the extent that Aoki might have been an employee or owner of Dōmeisha. In any event, like Aoki, the publishing house focused on educational materials, including language education among primary school children.
