Abstract
Fukuzawa was in one sense highly astute in tuning into the new trend in Japanese social and cultural development as there emerged, especially from the early 1880s onward, a distinctly new force in the public arena. This development was different from earlier intellectual activism in that it involved a decidedly younger cohort of intellectuals and it was distinguished yet again by the degree to which the popular press had come into a new phase of maturity, reflecting no doubt the emergence of a more educated, more informed and increasingly urbane reading public.
