education and receives joint thesis supervision from two faculty members at each institution with theaim of completing two-degree programs of equivalent level. The purpose of the program is to obtain
two degrees with a reduced length of study and amount of study through collaboration through thesigning of an agreement.
2) Dual Degree (Cotutelle) Program
A graduate student is simultaneously enrolled at SOKENDAI and an overseas institution of higher
education and receives joint thesis supervision from two faculty members at each institution. The
thesis research is conducted under the supervision of two formal supervisors based on a frameworkagreement between the institutions and an individual agreement for each student. A single degree isawarded to students who have met the requirements for completion of the doctoral program after
single joint thesis defense. However, diplomas are issued at each institution (1 degree, 2 diplomas).

-26-3) Joint Supervision Program
A graduate student receives joint thesis supervision from two faculty members, one fromSOKENDAI and the other from an overseas institution of higher education. The student is registeredonly at his / her home institution and is a non-degree student at the other institution but conducts thethesis research under the supervision of two formal supervisors based on a framework agreement
between the institutions and an individual agreement for each student. A single degree is awarded to
students who have met the requirement of their home institution, after the thesis defense conductedby their home institution. In addition, a jointly named certificate will be issued, certifying that thethesis research was jointly supervised by the two institutions.

of cultural history.
【Learning objectives】
At the end of this class, students will be able to understand the Japaneseculture of calligraphic focusing on manuscripts and explain about it, developing
the skill to handle original materials in their research.

This course will focus on Japanese classical literature, especially in the latter
half of the Edo period. The course will cover literacy in handling and reading
printed books, as well as the process of their establishment, dissemination, andtransmission. In addition, methods of research, analysis, and interpretation ofeach material will be lectured. (Lecture)【Learning objectives】
The goal is to enable students to conduct comprehensive research on thecultural characteristics expressed in the materials from a variety ofperspectives.

The purpose of this course is to understand publications in terms of theirstyles. Like manuscripts, published books have their own styles such as sizeand design. Compared to manuscripts, publications as handicraft products also
seem to be firmly stylized for technical and economic reasons.
Focusing on the aspect of publications as goods, we will examine such stylerelated issues by looking at specific examples.

In this class, we will use historical archives created,exchanged, andaccumulated by the shogunate, various feudal lords, and villagers in the earlymodern period of Japan, andlearn the methods of research and analysis necessary to organize and utilize
various information there. Classes consist of explanations of basic mattersrelated to archives used as teaching materials, as well as exercises related todeciphering, organizing, and analyzing information.

folklore, topography, etc., so that students can understand both the text andthe illustrations from various viewpoints, considering the various aspects of thearts and society of the era. (Lectures and exercises)

In this class, we will learn about the Hyakunin Isshu, the most popular book of
poetry in the history of Japanese literature,and consider the significance of waka in the history of Japanese literature byreading and understanding individual waka poems. In reading and understanding
the Hyakunin Isshu, we will emphasize the relationship between the poet and his
family collection.

How did classics develop in the Edo period, and what effects did that have?
How did it relate to the trends of earlymodern literature and the history ofliterature?
To give consideration to Edo in terms of the times, it is extremely important tofully understand the actual conditions of the development of the "knowledge"base of the people of Edo. This course is intended to clarify various aspects ofthe genealogy of "education" descended from Court nobles through carefulreading of commentaries that came into being in the Edo period.

・In this class, we will analyze Japanese Novels in modern era, comparing withpretexts.
【Learning objectives】
・Learn about the intellectual foundations referred to by creators in modern
Japan and their utilization.

In this class, we will examine the relationship between the Rinzai school of Zen
Buddhism and Japanese society, focusing on the many kana-hōgo publishedfrom the early modern period. The definition of "kana-hōgo" has not yet been
settled, and it may refer to literary works incorporating fiction (e.g., kana-zoshi)
or literature introducing the doctrines of various Zen sects, but here we will
focus only on texts, written in Japanese, exposing the teachings of specific Zenmonks.
In modern times, Buddhist doctrines were transmitted to society throughmultiple media, and it is important to place Zen priests' kana-hōgo in this"horizontal" context. On the other hand, it is also necessary to look at the"vertical" history of Zen Buddhism.
Since "Kana-hogo" is a kind of introductory book, this class will consider the
relationship between Buddhist doctrines and Japanese culture, with a focus on
Zen Buddhism, while learning how to look up basic Buddhist terminology.
The goal of this class is to be able to decipher simple Buddhist scriptures(written in kana), to master the basic doctrines of Buddhism and Zen Buddhism,
to understand the basic relationship between Buddhism and Japanese society
in the Middle Ages, from a historical and ideological perspective.

In this lecture, we will outline the basics ofstochastic processes, including Poissonprocesses, random walks, and Brownian motion,
while showing examples of applications of
stochastic processes. In addition, we will explain
the mathematical economic analysis of resource
management risks by applying macro-renewable
resource supply forecasting and option theory,targeting renewable resources such as forests.

The digital age has fostered the broadcasting ofan ever increasing quantity of complex multimedia
documents， be it through the internet or moreversatile electronic channels. These evolutions
have called for new tools and technologies toclassify and analyze multimedia contents. We
study in this course algorithms which are usefulfor these tasks.

2

In this course, I will lecture spatial modeling for
spatial data such as geostatistics, lattice model,
directional statistics, and spatial point process, aswell as random partitioning and random packing.
Unlike the generalized linear model and its related
statistics, a likelihood of a spatial model is not a
simple product over independent data, which isone of essences for spatial modeling.

Content of Subject

EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial
Control System) is a toolkit to monitor andcontrol many devices, which are distributed over awide area.
At the beginning, EPICS was developed and usedin an accelerator community.
For example, KEK introduced EPICS into
SuperKEKB and J-PARC accelerators.
In addition, EPICS has been introduced in nonaccelerator fields: telescopes, laserinterferometers for gravitational-wave detections,and nuclear fusion facilities.
Nowadays developments and maintenances of
EPICS have been continued under a world-wide
collaboration.
In the class, introduction of EPICS will be given,
followed by hands-on lessons with a tiny
computer (Raspberry Pi). Students, who are
expected to have knowledge of basic Linuxcommands, will study basic functions of EPICS byimplementing EPICS and controlling remote I/O
signals.

Environmental Studies" is not only to systemically establish such perspectives
and methodologies and categorizing and numeralize the mutual interaction ofhumanity and nature, but also to understand them conprehensively. This
course is designed to help students understand and acquire this"comprehensive knowledge" and is taught by faculty members, giving a seriesof lectures with specific examples of their own research.

2

Global environmental problems emerge as problems for society to solve when
the interaction between human society and the natural environment becomes
dysfunctional. The factors of the problem are complex and intertwined and may
be difficult to solve. In such cases, it is necessary to recognize the problem
from multiple perspectives from both the humanities/social sciences andnatural sciences, and then to collaborate with various actors in society,including government, business, and residents to create solutions to the
problem. In this omnibus lecture series, faculty members will give lectures on
research methods for recognizing global environmental problems and cocreating solutions, using specific examples of their own research.

1

Contemporary environmental problems such as climate change, natural
disasters, infectious diseases, and wild animal attacks are challenging becauseof the complex intertwining of global and regional issues that span national
borders and industries. In such cases, it is necessary for diverse actors fromindustries, academia, governments, and the private sectors to co-create
solutions through dialogue that transcends their respective social positions
and implement them in society. In this course, students will learn how to cocreate solutions to problems based on dialogue among multiple actors throughpractice at a co-creative conference.

1

Global environmental problems involve diverse temporal and spatial scales andcomplex causal relationships. Toward their solution academic research
generally is conducted under diverse approaches and goals. In this course, we
aim to introduce examples of past research efforts, to learn about the breadthof these approaches, and to find common threads among them on one's own.
In this course, 8 lectures will be held in total and in each lecture, we will focus
on a research project conducted at RIHN as a case study. The project leader
will introduce the problem structure and aims of the research project, and thenshare the academic achievements and remaining future issues based on
empirical data. (8 lectures)

Meteorites are of many and various types, but they can be broadly classified
as primitive or differentiated, according to the process by which they areformed. Since primitive meteorites are made of matter that was never melted,
they are thought to embody information about the solid materials from which
the solar system was created and the processes by which their materials wereformed. On the other hand, differentiated meteorites are thought to havemelted from their parent celestial bodies. In addition to explaining theclassification of meteorites, this subject examines the parent bodies.

Local characteristics of the Antarctic plate reflect the history of the planet's
evolution. Accordingly, to understand the evolution process of Antarctica andits current shape, it is necessary to compare and understand its local
characteristics, such as crust and mantle structure, geoid, gravity anomalies
and crustal magnetic anomalies, with those of the other areas. This subject
describes features of Antarctica, as determined by a seismic velocity survey
and/or regional tomography, crustal magnetic survey, and free-air and Bouguer
gravity surveys. In addition, details about defromations of the solid Earthinduced by the tidal potential, surface loadings and Earth's rotation are alsopresented.

The approximately 2.6 million years of the Quaternary period, the latest period
in the Earth's historical evolution, has featured large-scale growth and decay
in ice sheet conditions, marked variations in sea levels and dramatic change inthe Earth's crust. These factors have enabled nature to take shape as we see
it today and for humanity to evolve as it has. As a principal stage for thesechanges, the polar regions represent a key to understanding how theyoccurred. This subject begins by explaining the techniques and concepts used
to elucidate and recognize the various changes in the evolution of natureduring the Quaternary period. Next, the latest research trends are used to
discuss the role of Quaternary research in understanding the system of the
Earth, to assess the possibility of predicting forthcoming changes in thenatural environment and human development. And fundamental numericalanalysis dealing with paleoclimatological data will be performed.

Stundets give a public oral presentation of theirresearch during an internal exchange seminar(NIG colloquium) held every Friday afternoon at
the National Institute of Genetics, followed by aquestion-and-answer session with the audience.
Afterwards, students hold a closed-door meetingwith the four progress committee members to
explain the progress of their research and future
research plans to the committee members.
Discuss in detail the content of the doctoral
thesis and establish a common understanding
between the committee members and the student
regarding the content of research worthy of thedegree level.

2

After careful discussion with the supervisor,
students prepare a draft of the doctoral thesis,
which is evaluated (commented) by the progresscommittee. This is an opportunity for students toimprove the quality of the doctoral thesis basedon the comments. If the progress committee
determines that the doctoral thesis is notcomplete enough to proceed to the doctoral
thesis evaluation, no credit is given and students
are not be allowed to apply for the doctoral thesis
evaluation.
