人間愛にんげんあい“Education through Ningen Ai (Empathy for All Humanity)”

preparing youth for the opportunities presented in thisage of information technology and global exchange. At
this early stage in the process of evaluation, internationalization has already begun.

Bunkyo University Guide 2024

The Foreign Student Department was established in April 1993 as a division ofa Japanese language course from the Institute of Language and Culture. This
department is designed to educate and train foreign students, mainly from
Asian countries, for either one full year or one and a half years by offering
Japanese language courses and helping them acquire basic knowledge about
Japan. The purpose of training these students is to help them advance tohigher educational institutions in Japan in the future, such as various faculties
and graduate schools at Bunkyo University and other Japanese universities.
Every year, some exchange students from New Zealand, Germany, China andSouth Korea take classes in the Foreign Student Department to acquirenecessary skills as well. In addition, Japanese undergraduate students whowant to teach Japanese language in the future learn knowledge and skills inthis department. This course thus provides Japanese language and related
curricula for foreign students for one year or one and a half years.

In Japanese,“hanbunko” means to share
one another’ s joys and sorrows.
“ I’ m BUNKO,
and I share my heart with you.”

I’m happy to meet you.
My name is BUNKO.
Half of my heart is yours.
＊Hanbunko also combines Bunkyo University’s “Bun”with love
for people. Hanbunko expresses our sharing of everything with
one another, our ups and downs, and our joys and sorrows.
⇒BUNKO holds half a heart to its chest. The name BUNKO comesfrom the Japanese word that means sharing in equal measure.
＊The seven colors of BUNKO’s heart represent the seven faculties
of Bunkyo University.
＊BUNKO’s brown ear and tail represent the university’s logo.
＊BUNKO is soft and gentle, with a friendly personality.
＊BUNKO is wearing a pochette（What’s inside is a secret）.
＊BUNKO looks a little like a bear, but no one is really sure.
