Overview of Division of Japanese Cultures
Professional study a wide range of fields The characteristics of the Division of Japanese Cultures are to offer a wide range of professional studies of fields of Japanese culture. We try to approach from various angles, but the main areas are religion, performing arts, modern society and cultural exchange, music, calligraphy, Japanese, modern literature, and Chinese language culture. By learning these subjects comprehensively and three-dimensionally, students can deepen their fields of study, understand Japanese culture widely, and enrich their specialized research.
Expanded cover fields The fields covered by the Division of Japanese Cultures are gradually expanding, including calligraphy such as "Sanpitsu" and "Sanseki", the three great calligraphers , and entertainment genres such as Kabuki. Students can also learn about modern and contemporary mass media such as movies and publications, which is developing rapidly. Regarding the Japanese language, which is the basis of all of these Japanese cultures, lectures are held by leading experts in the the history and current state analysis research.
