Overview

The school was founded in 1924 by members of the alumnae club of Tokyo Women's Normal School, Oin-kai (櫻蔭会). The first principal of the school, Kikuno Gokan (後閑菊野), had been responsible for the education of Empress Kojun, and she placed focus on manners in the creation of Oin as well.[1]

Oin is known as one of the most selective secondary educational institutions in the country, and is one of the largest sources of successful applicants to the University of Tokyo, which is usually regarded as the nation's most selective and prestigious university.[2]
