After the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to actively absorb western
civilization and to promote rapid modernization of its society. As aresult Japan was able to achieve breathtaking social and economic
advances during this period. However, this brought the destruction of
traditional culture and the disregard of traditional values. Following the
Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), the domestic situation worsened, andpeople’s thinking changed. Consequently, various social problems
emerged, which gave rise to serious social instability.
It was during this period that Tokujiro Shibata and a group of
likeminded people concerned with the future of Japanese society came
together to form “Seinen Dai-Mindan”(Greater Association of Youth).
The purpose of the Association was to “reform Japan” by means ofsocial improvement and educating young people. The growing
activities of the Association culminated in the birth of “Kokushikan,” aprivate academy established in 1917 based on the principle of “Katsugaku”(practical education).

Since then, Kokushikan has remained committed to the philosophy ofeducating people who can help build the nation. Our goal has been thecultivation of the Four Precepts: Sincerity, Industriousness, Insight andSpiritual Strength, which students are encouraged to aspire to throughconstant “reading, experience, and reflection.” Based on this approach,
Kokushikan has sent out a large number of graduates who havecontributed and continue to contribute to progress in various fields.

Kokushikan General Information 2013

Kokushikan was founded 96 years ago on the idea of fostering
individuals to help build the nation. Although the way of
expressing this philosophy has changed over time, the underlying
concept has remained the same: “devotion to others.” This means
wholeheartedly doing everything you can for people, somethingwhich I learned when I was a student of Kokushikan’s founder,
Tokujiro Shibata, who taught with deep compassion. Our founderendeavored to cultivate human resources by practicing the virtuesof sincerity, industriousness, insight, and spiritual strength, which
are the educational precepts of our foundation today. As his
successors, I believe it is our mission to pass on his ideas inaccordance with the needs of the times.
I hear that since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, there
has been an increase in the number of young people with a strong
desire to do something for others. This means that the philosophyof our founder, nearly a century ago, lives on to this very day. It
is just this kind of person that is needed in Japan right now. In
these times, when we are facing so many challenges both
domestically and internationally, we are determined to carry on
Kokushikan’s founding spirit and continue our earnest efforts tomake a positive social contribution.
In 2017 we will celebrate the centennial of our founding. In
preparation for that milestone, in 2008 we completed the
Umegaoka Complex on our Setagaya Campus as a hub ofeducation and research which we expect to support the progressof the age. As a result, we started integrated education with all
major courses available on each campus, thus enabling students
to have a more forward-looking four years by taking advantageof the special characteristics of each department and faculty.
Furthermore, in April 2013 we opened the Maple Century Hall, acomplex with five floors above ground and three basement floors
featuring sports facilities, a student lounge, and other amenities
that can be used by university and high school students at
anytime. With the aim of further enhancing the study
environment, we intend to continue our efforts to improve ourcampuses. Our hope is to continue serving as an affectionate andcompassionate school so that students can feel truly glad theychose to study at Kokushikan.

Nobuyuki Miura
President
Kokushikan University

Biography
Born in Miyagi Prefecture in 1942,
Nobuyuki Miura completed the doctoral
course in political science in the
Kokushikan University Graduate School of
Political Science in 1971 and acquired his
PhD in political science from this university
in 1972.
He joined the faculty of Kokushikan
University in 1971, becoming a professor of
the Department of Political Science in the
Faculty of Political Science and Economics
in 1984 and serving as dean of that facultyfrom 1987 to 1992, vice-president of
Kokushikan University and Kokushikan
Junior College from 1992 to 1994, andpresident of Kokushikan University and
Kokushikan Junior College from 1994 to
2003. He was also appointed director of the
Kokushikan Educational Foundation andacademic advisor in 2003.
He was appointed president of Kokushikan
University in December 2012. He was also
appointed director and councilor of the
Kokushikan Educational Foundation in thatyear.
Besides these posts, he has served as chairof the Setagaya City Graded Post Reward
Council since 2009, president of theJapanese Association of Law and Political
Science since 2011, and Miyagi Kizuna
Ambassador since 2013.
His specialty is political science.

Kokushikan University traces its roots back to the Kokushikan
private academy established by Tokujiro Shibata in Tokyo’s Azabu
district in 1917 to cultivate talented individuals. Viewing thedistinguished intellectual Shoin Yoshida (1830-59) as a model,
Shibata and his colleagues moved the academy in 1919 to its current
location in Tokyo’s Setagaya area, adjacent to Shoin Shrine, where
the spirit of Yoshida is enshrined. In the 96 years since then,
Kokushikan has developed into a full-blown university that has
turned out over 120,000 graduates active in all walks of life.
The Japanese word kokushi in Kokushikan means “a person with apatriotic heart who serves society and the people.” By basing its
education on the four precepts of sincerity, industriousness, insight,
and spiritual strength, Kokushikan University aims to develop
kokushis capable of leading society.
Four years from now, Kokushikan University will be celebrating its
centennial, and we are steadily moving forward with projects to markthis auspicious occasion. The Umegaoka Complex was opened on the
Setagaya Campus in 2008. More recently, Maple Century Hall
opened on the Setagaya Campus in April 2013. Created on the themeof developing a healthy mind and body, this new building brings
together facilities for physical education and culture, and we lookforward to students spending many fulfilling hours there challenging
themselves mentally and physically.
In today’s increasingly turbulent times, the decrease in the collegeage population in Japan has led to a shakeout among universities,
requiring them to carry out reforms in order to survive. Universities
that accept a wide range of students are clearly required to put
measures in place at both the entrance and the exit of theirundergraduate programs. At the entrance, they are required toreconstruct systems to guarantee educational quality. And at the exit,
they are required to offer career guidance and other programs tofoster individuals with the ability to engage in lifelong learning andto think independently.
In order to build a solid foundation for the future under effective
governance that is able to respond with insight and speed to thechanges in the times, Kokushikan University will engage in reform
based on the following two principles: First, as the inheritors of thelegacy of Shoin Yoshida, Kokushikan University will produce
talented young people full of creativity and dynamism who, in thisage of globalization, will contribute not only to Japan but also to Asiaand the world. Second, in order to improve our undergraduate andgraduate programs so that they are attractive in light of the changes insociety, we will promote a multifaceted reform program to give
concrete shape to our future vision for our university by vigorously
promoting the reform of existing undergraduate programs andenhancing our educational and research environment.
While carrying on the university’s illustrious history and tradition, as
we look forward to our next century, we aim to pioneer a creative andsustainable future powered by an enterprising and resolute spirit. To
do this, we intend to establish a system of accountability led by allacademic and administrative staff based on the principles of teachingand scholarship.
The Great East Japan Earthquake took many lives and caused
immense damage in northeastern Japan. As a university that aims toserve society and the people, it is Kokushikan’s mission to apply the
results of its education and research to support reconstruction of thedisaster-hit areas. We will do our utmost to continue turning out able
and strong-minded graduates capable of leading the next generation.

who can contribute not only to the physicaleducation but also to the mental educationof children so as to foster their humanity.

Flexible curriculum organically linking
six fields
The School of Science and Engineering
operates an educational system of “onedepartment, six fields.” By organicallylinking the six fields of mechanicalengineering, electronics and informatics,
architecture, urban design and landscapearchitecture, health and medical
engineering, and mathematics andscience, it enables students to plan theirown curriculum in consideration of their
future aspirations and to study
accordingly. Thus, students are able tostudy subjects outside their specialized
field toward the realization of their
dreams. Furthermore, regarding entrance
examinations, in addition to theconventional method of designating a
specialized field at the time of entrance,
the school operates a flexible entrance
system whereby students can select a
specialized field when they advance to thesecond year.

Message from the Principal

教育/中学校・高等学校

The six years through junior and senior high school are an important time for growth ofthe mind and body as well as development of individuality and sensibility.
The Kokushikan junior and senior high schools focus not just on increasing academic
ability, but “education of the heart” based on a unified junior-senior high school system.
The schools teach students etiquette, ethics, a moral outlook, and so forth and foster a“zest for living” which is needed in society.
The educational philosophy of Kokushikan is to cultivate the four
virtues of sincerity, industriousness, insight, and spiritual strength
by putting into practice the three principles of reading,experience, and reflection in thinking. These three principles
correspond to what is now referred to as PDCA (that is, plan, do,check, action). Back in 1917, at the time of Kokushikan’s
establishment, our founder and predecessors had a vision way
ahead of their time.

Kazunari Kawano
Principal
Kokushikan Senior High School andJunior High School
Biography
Kazunari Kawano was born in Fukuoka
Prefecture in 1944. He graduated in 1966 fromthe Faculty of Physical Education of
Kokushikan University and joined theteaching staff of the Kokushikan Junior andSenior High Schools in the same year.
In the Senior high school he instructed theJudo team.
In 1985, he founded the Junior High School
Judo Team and served as its Manager for
many years before being appointed General
Manager for the Junior and Senior HighSchool Judo Teams. Over the years, he has
led many teams to first place in national
championship tournaments. He has trained
numerous first-class athletes who have won
many medals in the Japan National JudoChampionships, the World JudoChampionships and in the Olympic Games.
In 1992, he was appointed Adviser to the All
Japan High School Athletic Federation JudoTeam.
In 2002, he assumed the post of Vice-Principalof Kokushikan Junior and Senior High Schools
and has been serving as Principal since 2004.
That same year, he was appointed to the
Kokushikan Board of Council.
In 2007 he was appointed Chairman of the
Kokushikan Sports Promotion Association.

Kokushikan General Information 2013

The six years spent in junior and senior high school are an
important time in terms of developing a sound mind and body.
Through the martial arts education that Kokushikan has
consistently carried out, we aim to teach students the basics of
behavior as human beings, in other words, how to interact withothers and etiquette, and to foster a zest for living throughtraining of the mind and body. However, this definitely should
not be one-way. More than anything else, we believe it isimportant to teach students from their perspective in a
warmhearted manner. If teachers themselves join their students
and display an attitude of passionately tackling something,teachers and students can share the same feelings and time, and asense of trust and strength to change the future will be createdbetween them. The vitality of our students extends to various
fields. As well as judo, synchronized swimming and soccer,
sports in which we have produced Olympic athletes, we areproud of our sporting achievements in national tournaments.
Moreover, our students have also excelled in cultural activities
and received much praise. In addition to shogi (one of ourstudents won the 1st and 2nd Ricoh Cup Ladies Ouza Tournament)
and essay writing (another of our students received the Ministerof Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology’s
Encouragement Prize in the “My Opinion” essay contest), thesecultural activities include the calligraphy club, brass band club,and art club.
Our junior high school implements small-group classes, and we
also offer a variety of courses in such subjects as English
conversation, environmental problems, and nursing careexperience. In our senior high school full-time course, the firstyear is devoted to thorough development of the basic academic
skills. From the second year onward, classes are offered with aview to increasing the ratio of students advancing to university.
Students in the part-time and correspondence programs are able
to attend lectures at Kokushikan University. By incorporating
martial arts and art as a part of human education, we bring out theindividual personalities of our students.
Junior and senior high school life is important as the first step insetting a direction for the future and approaching one’s dreams.
Through the knowledge acquired at Kokushikan and various
experiences, we foster a sense of consideration toward others anda zest for life in students. Nothing is created without passion.
With affection and passion, we make every effort and build anenvironment so that every student can fully display his or her
abilities. That, I believe, is Kokushikan’s role and mission.

The affiliated libraries that make up the
Kokushikan University Library andInformation Commons are the Central
Library and Information Commons(Setagaya Campus), the Tsurukawa
Library and Information Commons(Machida Campus), and the Tama Library
and Information Commons (TamaCampus). These are future-oriented
facilities that provide an integrated study
environment and to upgrade academic
information services so as to foster the
information literacy required by the times― namely, the ability to understand,collect, analyze, and transmit informationnecessary for oneself and one’sorganization.
The libraries stock around 890,000 books
and journals and there are 99 information
terminals in the Central Library, 80 in the
Tsurukawa Library, and 15 in the Tama

rooms on the campuses (3 on Setagaya, 7
on Umegaoka, 2 on Machida, and 1 onTama), with more than 800 computer
terminals available for educational use.
About half of these computers run on thinclient systems connected to the Internet.
They enable the viewing and retrieval ofuniversity and external databases, ejournals, the KISS (Knowledge Integrated
Service Systems) academic repository,
and other information services. Moreover,the libraries make efforts to further
improve the use of information resources:
for example, extending opening hours,
allowing local residents to use libraryservices, promoting open use of thecomputer terminal rooms for educational
purposes, and installing information
terminals that can be used 24 hours a day,365 days a year.
In order to upgrade academic information
services, OPAC, a search system foracademic materials stored at Kokushikan
University, and the KISS repository,
which stores around 8,000 academic
papers, lecture materials, and otherinformation, have been transferred tocloud systems, thereby enabling theirconvenient use on mobile devices and also
guaranteeing the continuity of educationaland research support at times of disaster.
To provide conditions for creating
intellectual property, the libraries haverealized quiet viewing environments,group study space, audiovisualenvironments, and refresh environments.
In addition, efforts are made to increase
intellectual productivity by introducing
content production equipment, such as
scanners, large color printers, and image
editing equipment, and assigning staff toassist in their use.
Besides these activities, the libraries havebuilt and operate the KAEDE Net, thebasic network of Kokushikan University.
The KAEDE Net connects the Setagaya
and Machida campuses and the Setagaya
and Tama campuses by means of 10 GBit
high-speed dedicated lines and links

Maple Century Hall
Opened 2013
As one of the commemorative projects to markKokushikan’s centennial, a building complex wasconstructed on the Setagaya Campus on the themeof “healthy body and mind.”

Environment- and Energy-Conscious Design
Maple Century Hall has three basement floors and five floors above ground and its
total floor space is approximately 13,000 m2. The southern and western sides are
entirely covered by high-transmittance glass, so the inside of the building is lightand spacious. Power is generated by solar-heated water tanks and photovoltaic
panels installed on the roof so as to save energy. Solar power is also used, among
other things, for the heated swimming pool, floor heating, and showers.
Furthermore, in order to reduce energy consumption, a water-saving circulation
method is employed especially for the heated swimming pool. Pump power iscontrolled by circulating surplus water for use and adjusting filtering capacity
according to the number of users there are. In addition, the glass sides have adouble-skin structure, which provides excellent insulation and reduces the solar
radiation load.

Student lounge
The student lounge, which has
about 100 seats, is a naturally
well-lit place for exchange andrelaxation.

School Emblem “Maple Leaf ” - A choice made by all It was in 1919 that Kokushikan madeits historic move from Azabu Kogaicho to a site near the Shoin Shrine in
Setagaya. In the preceding year, thefounders of Kokushikan had visited the
Shoin Shrine to show their deep respectfor Yoshida Shoin, who pursued such astrict and uncompromising way of life
as a thinker and educator during thetumultuous closing years of the Edo
Period. The founders earnestly hoped tofollow in the footsteps of Yoshida
Shoin and to pattern the newly
established Kokushikan after Shoka
Sonjuku, the private school that Shoin
had established. Two notable trees
stand in the precincts of the Shoin
Shrine: one a cherry tree representing
Yamato-damashii (Japanese spirit), andthe other an old maple tree symbolizing
the passion that animated Yoshida
Shoin. On the morning of the
Kokushikan High School (theantecedent of today’s Kokushikan
University) opening ceremony,
Tokujiro Shibata, the first headmaster,saw the bright maple leaves reflecting
the sunlight and thought of Shoin’s
purity of heart. At that moment, hedecided that the emblem of the newschool would feature the maple leaf.
In the spring of 1920, Chancellor
Shibata referred this matter to thestudents' association, known as the
Kokushi Gakuseikai, and explained his
vision. The students and all members of
the school unanimously supported the
proposal and formally adopted as theiremblem the seven-sided maple leaf
symbolizing the “seven lives that“kokushi” are prepared to give for theircountry.”

Kokushikan Symbol
The Kokushikan Symbol has tworectangles representing “history” and“future hope” overlapping an arc,
symbolizing the “earth.” This in turn
represents Kokushikan’s initial “K.”
Kokushikan aims to establish anenergetic academic environment withpeople using their own culture,knowledge and skills dynamically andin a way open to the community andglobal society. The School color“Kokushikan Red” is inspired by the
deep red of the maple leaf andexpresses our passion and delight.
It was established as part of a 1997
program to commemorate the 80th
anniversary of the university.

Founder

Tokujiro Shibata

Kokushikan was founded during the boom
years of the First World War. However, thiswas also a period of gloom and social unrest.
The rice riots that started with a group ofhousewives in a small fishing village inToyama Prefecture quickly spread to all partsof Japan within a mere ten days. It was underthese conditions that a group of young peoplecame together to form “Seinen Dai-Mindan”(Greater Association of Youth). The founding
members included Tokujiro Shibata, Shusuke
Abe, Daisuke Hanada, Teiichi Kita andTsukasa Uetsuka. The aim of the Association
was to contribute to the prosperity of thenation and stability in the lives of the people
through “debate” and “education.”In the field of debate, in June 1916 theAssociation started the publication of themagazine, Taimin, which promoted the
Association’s aim until 1945. As for the fieldof education, Kokushikan was founded as a
private academy in November 1917.
Originally located in Azabu, Tokyo theacademy moved to Setagaya in 1919 andmade a fresh start as a full-fledged
educational institution with a middle schooland high school. Today’s Kokushikan
University traces its origins to these early
initiatives. As it grew and developed in an ageof numerous vicissitudes, Kokushikan was
blessed with many able supporters. First andforemost, mention must be made of thecontributions of the founders of Kokushikan
who took on the responsibility of managing
the institution. Second come the “four pillars”
of Kokushikan consisting of Mitsuru Toyama,
Soho Tokutomi, Utaro Noda, and Eiichi
Shibusawa. The names of Seigo Nakano and
Taketora Ogata are also indelibly linked to thehistory of Kokushikan.
