The school run by Sosaku Kobayashi was called Tomoe Gakuen (トモエ学園), a progressive private elementary school in the Jiyūgaoka district of Tokyo.

Established in 1937, it emphasized child-led learning, creativity, and rhythm-based education (eurythmics) — approaches that were quite innovative for its time Notably, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, famed for her memoir “Totto‑chan: The Little Girl at the Window,” attended this school, which is closely associated with the stories in her book .

Sosaku Kobayashi is remembered as a pioneer in Japan’s free-education movement, integrating music and movement into everyday learning at Tomoe Gakuen.
