1) Balanced description of each era and field with substantial content
With an emphasis on the main text, we have comprehensively and balancedly described each era such as Primitive/Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern/Contemporary, as well as fields like politics, diplomacy, economy, and culture.
We have strived for logical descriptions to make it easier to understand the background and causal relationships of historical events. The substantial content allows you to acquire the basic knowledge needed to exercise your thinking, judgment, and expression skills.

2) Large illustrations and abundant historical materials that facilitate inquiry activities
We have included numerous historical materials to deepen your understanding and explore history.
Additionally, we have enlarged the textbook's format (from A5 to B5 modified size) and made the photographs and illustrations larger and easier to see.
In addition to textual materials that form the basis of historical narratives, we have richly incorporated illustrations and photographs to infer the conditions of the time, as well as statistical data that allows for consideration of historical background from numerical values.
In Historical Materials and Perspectives on XX, we have featured a variety of historical materials and devised ways for students to consider them from multiple angles.

3) Diverse questions to grasp the characteristics of each era
At the beginning of each chapter, along with an introductory text, we present questions that serve as learning perspectives for that chapter. At the end of each chapter, we provide Summary questions to review and reflect on the learning of that chapter.
To serve as points of focus when reading the main text and to enable you to grasp history from various angles, we have included questions (Q) throughout. Furthermore, in Let's Read and Understand related to historical materials, we pose questions that encourage interpretation, explanation, and discussion.

4) Teaching Materials and Corresponding Textbooks
The Teaching Practice Edition, which includes convenient materials to assist with lesson development, is available for each textbook. The Research Edition, which summarizes detailed explanations of terms and basic considerations for each theme, can be used in common with all three of Yamakawa Publishing's comprehensive history textbooks. By effectively utilizing these two books, it becomes easy to set the level of your lessons, allowing for more in-depth teaching. Corresponding notebooks are also available.
