Department of Japanese Language and Literature
Look at Japan at multiple angles, and approach the true essence of history and culture.
Point 1
Learn Japanese and Japanese literature, and get to know Japanese Culture and Representation
Aim to become a person who conveys rich language by looking at Japanese objectively. Also, read and understanding a wide range of works of ancient and modern literature, picture scrolls, movies, etc., that Japan is proud of, from the world’s oldest full length novel “The Tale of Genji,” to animation.
Point 2
Connect to society through words
We invite professionals who use words, such as editors, advertising industry experts, and announcers, to be lecturers as we have prepared many classes for connecting to society through practice. As the students deepen their specialized knowledge they will expand their horizons as we provide opportunities for them to consider how we interact with society.
Point 3
Convey the charm of Japanese culture to the world
It’s a waste to only explore things that you like. Students will learn the skills for how to teach Japanese in an easy to understand manner, broadly convey Japanese culture to the world, and get many people to know the attractiveness of Japanese literature, as we develop the knowledge for a truly internationally-minded person.
