In the spirit of research, I found this article (http://histclo.com/schun/country/jap/schunjaph.html) on the history of school uniforms in Japan. A login box will pop up, but just click cancel twice and you can view the article, sans images.

According to the article, four years were mandatory. So if I just have Kenji go to school from ages six to ten, that would be OK. If he went to a terakoya, would they make him cut his hair?
