3年計画の2年目として、大分県日田市に「咸宜園」という私塾を開いた廣瀨淡窓及び、廣瀨旭荘について調べ、咸宜園の教育観を明らかにするための調査・研究を引き続き行った。「咸宜園」は、日本遺産に指定された第1号の教育群の一つである。また、咸宜園の所在地が大分県であったことだけでなく、慶應義塾へ咸宜園出身の入塾者が多かった事から、廣瀬淡窓・旭荘と福澤とにこれまで知られる事がなかった関係性を見出すかもしれないと研究を行ってきた。私自身が旭荘の曾孫の孫（5代下）にあたる事から、咸宜園研究センターにおいて、極めて貴重な資料を蔵から出してもらい、自由に閲覧する特別な立場にいたが、今回福澤諭吉と廣瀨旭荘を繋げる新たな糸口を得る事は出来なかった。
しかし、今年、大分県大分市にある先哲資料館において文献調査を行い、咸宜園研究センターでの聞き取り調査をした結果、以下の3点を新たに知る事が出来た。
１．福澤諭吉の幼少期の先生である帆足万里は廣瀨家と同じ豊後出身であり、廣瀨家と強い繋がりのある教育者であった事。
２．咸宜園の職員の分担表にて、舎長という役職を見つけた事。
３．咸宜園教育センターの溝田氏から、咸宜園の研究会が年に2回開催されていること。
今後は、旭荘の子である敬四郎が慶應義塾に入塾している頃の資料がないか、廣瀨本家に打診して、本家に伝わる資料を調べさせてもらうべく働きかけたい。また、敬四郎と共に入塾した横田國臣や田代丈吉、諭吉を暗殺しようとまで考えていたのにその後福澤諭吉の弟子になった朝吹英二の3人を中心に、咸宜園出身者で慶應義塾に入塾した人物についても調べを進めたい。
This is the second year of a three year plan. Tanso Hirose opened a private shelf "Kangien" in Hita City, Oita Prefecture. I researched Tanso Hirose and his last brother Kyokuso Hirose to reveal Kangien's view of education. Kangien is one of the first education groups designated as a Japanese heritage.
Kangien was located in Oita Prefecture. It is also the fact that many students from Kangien entered Keio. Based on these facts, this study aims to identify a relationship among Tanso Hirose, Kyokuso Hirose and Yukichi Fukuzawa.
I am a grandson of Kyokuso's grandson (5 generations lower). Therefore, Research Center of Kangien allowed me to refer extremely valuable materials archived in the center. however, nothing could locate a connection between Kyokuso Hirose and Yukichi Fukuzawa.
This year, I conducted a literature survey at the Sentetsu Museum in Oita City. In addition, I did an interview survey at the Kangien Research Center. As a result, three points became clear as follows:

1. Bairi Hoashi, who was a teacher of Yukichi Fukuzawa's early childhood, is from the same Bungo as the Hirose family and was an educator with a strong connection to the Hirose family.
2. The word "Shacho" was found in the role table of the staff of Kangien.
3. Mr. Mizota in an Education Center told me that Kangien's study group was held twice a year.

I would like to examine the materials from the time when Keishiro Hirose, who was Kyokuso Hirose's son, entered Keio. I would like to work with Hirose Head family to examine the materials housed in Hirose Head family. In addition, I am going to examine Kuniomi Yokota and Jokichi Tashiro who entered to Keio with Keishiro Hirose more.
I also would like to research Eiji Asabuki more although he plotted the murder of Yukichi, he became his pupil afterwad. Additionally would like to research who entered Keio from Kangien.
