Memory and learning are seen as mental phenomena and generally studied as brain processes, for example, within various branches of psychology and neuroscience. This book represents a rather different tack, based on sociocultural theory, cultural psychology and dialogism. Authors from many different disciplines and countries study memory and learning as practices adopted by people in different interactional and institutional contexts. Studies range from detailed analyses of situated activities to broad sociohistorical studies of cultural phenomena and collective memories such as national narratives and physical symbols for commemorating events and traditions. By focusing on how people engage in remembering and learning, this book provides a necessary complement to currently popular neuroscientific approaches.

Mono oboe no hiden [Secret Memory Techniques] was published in the twelfth month of the eighth year of the Meiwa era [1771] in Kyōto—a centre of Japanese culture for over 1000 years. Seisui-sensei (teacher Seisui) orally dictated the techniques, which were scribed by Tō Isshō. Book 1 was intended for everyday people, particularly those teaching children. These techniques involve using the body as a memory aid, as well as making associations between the information to be remembered and familiar objects. The goal is to make the information more memorable and easier to recall. This book covers the basic concepts of the techniques, including the approach to building the body memory aid system, right mindset, and how to observe and remember people and objects. Book 2--published separately in 1772--was probably intended for advanced learners. It expands on book 1 and extends the memory aid system to the hands. It gives numerous examples of how to remember a wide range of things which were considered useful. Some of the memory techniques in these books resemble those reportedly used in Japan around 4000 years ago, such as assigning numbers to different parts of the body to assist memory recall. Some bear a resemblance to those used by ninja in the feudal era, such as the technique of using familiar objects to assist recall. Some resemble those introduced by Europeans in ancient times, such as the method of loci and the memory palace technique. Also, there are references in Book 1 to Chinese literature, suggesting some of the techniques might have also been used in China to aid with the memorisation of key texts. All of the basic concepts and techniques can still be used in the modern day for strengthening your memory. Book 1 and Book 2 provide much more than memory techniques—they take the modern reader on a fascinating journey of cultural and linguistic discovery.
