Housemaid in modern Japan was rapidly increased in 1900s. It is mainly due to increased demand for housemaid by new middle class who was increased as the expansion of city. But the employment environment of housemaid was not modern at all. The employers of housemaid who succeeded traditional recognition of upper class thought that hiring housemaid is not a contract in modern sense. Instead they thought it is a kind of education of manners and practical housekeeping for the woman who will marry and keep house. In these context, everyday life of housemaid was controlled and managed under the name of education. Labor of housemaid was severe and cheap. As demand for factory worker is increased due to economic boom after the 1st world war, the number of women who want to be housemaid was decreased.
