Greetings
In honor of consecrating the HIKARI-KAN at the Doshisha Kyotanabe Campus in March
2015, there has been an exhibition every semester over the last four years. The idea has beenthat undergraduates will be able to see a new exhibition every semester during their time as a
Doshisha student. With this ninth exhibition we are now entering a second phase, whichrevisits themes examined in the very first exhibition, “Christianity at Doshisha.”Construction on this Chapel was begun in 2014 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of
Niijima’s travel to the United States. In the summer of 1864 (Genji 1) Niijima Shimeta (as hewas then known) boarded the merchant vessel the Berlin which was leaving from Hakodate. At
that time it was illegal to leave Japan. Stopping in Shanghai, Niijima transferred to theAmerican clipper ship Wild Rover, and spent almost a year traveling the Atlantic before
landing in the Wild Rover’s home port of Boston. Niijima returned to Japan ten years later in
1874 (Meiji 7) after receiving an American education and a new name: Jo. But it was not justhis name that had changed. When Niijima boarded the Berlin he had been a samurai, but by
the time of his return he had become a Christian minister.
Because Niijima founded Doshisha, he is best known as an educator. But before hebecame an educator he was a Christian minister and missionary. He was educated in the
Boston area of Massachusetts, an area largely committed to a branch of Christian faith, called
the Congregationalists. The schools he attended were Congregationalist and most of the people
around him – including the Hardy family who sponsored his education – were likewise
influential members of this church.
Through the influence of his educational experiences in Massachusetts, Niijima began to
dream of opening a similar kind of school in Japan. He imagined more than just a school,
however, but one firmly based on Christianity. For him Congregationalism represented theideal form of church organization, and its teaching were more than simply an ornament, butwere a fundamental foundation for knowing the truth, creating a free society, and an
indispensable part of living an active life. So, before he was ever an educator, he was a man who
read the Bible, prayed and preached as a committed Christian.
With this in mind this series of HIKARI-KAN exhibits returns to the first theme,“Doshisha and Christianity.” Here we can see on display a replica of Niijima’s English Bible andhis notes that show his interactions with the text. We would be delighted if through thisexhibition you see the many ways Christianity has guided and supported Doshisha.

Exhibition Theme:
Niijima Jo and Christianity

Niijima encountered Christianity and as he learned more
his faith deepened. He then collaborated with others who shared
his evangelical goals and created an education based on
Christianity. This trajectory can be seen in many documents,
including a number highlighted in this exhibition.

Exhibition Documents

Prayer (copy) 1865, 1 piece, 13.5×12.5cm
On October 12, 1865 (Keio 1) Niijima arrived in Boston port and shortly after wrote thisprayer in English. Alpheus Hardy, the owner of the Wild Rover, which had brought Niijima
to America, encouraged him to explain why he had come to America. Niijima spent three daysat the Boston Sailor’s Home writing that explanation, and it was during this time that he also
wrote this prayer.

Niijima Jo’s Bible (copy) date unknown, 1 volume, 21×14cm
In the year after Niijima arrived in America, Alpheus Hardy became the guardian of ayoung man named Joshua Montgomery Sears (1854-1905) who gave Niijima this Bible.
Niijima already had a condensed Bible translated into Chinese, so the English Bible was thefirst time he had ever seen the full text. In this Bible we see Niijima’s many handwritten
notes, indicating his deepening curiosity and faith.

Exhibition Documents

Correspondence to Niijima from eight missionaries (copy) January 1, 1874 1 item, 25.1×20.1cm
Excited to learn about Niijima’s impending graduation from Andover Theological Seminary,eight Christian missionaries in Kobe signed a joint letter urging him to join their work. They
were particularly eager to welcome a Japanese colleague. In November 1874, the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions made Niijima an associate missionary, and sent
him to Japan to join the work of other missionaries.

Branch of Chastisement (copy) Meiji period, 3 pieces, the largest 60 cm
In April 1880(Meiji 13), senior students led sophomores in a protest against the school,
leading Doshisha into turmoil. On the 13th of April Niijima addressed the students at themorning chapel hour, telling them that the troubles were the result of his poor leadership,rather than their disobedience. To punish himself for this failure, Niijima used this cane torepeatedly strike the palm of his hand. The incident deeply impressed the students with
Niijima’s integrity and deep Christian faith and became a lesson passed down to subsequent
generations of Doshisha faculty and students.

Exhibition Documents

Draft of J.D. Davis’ Employment Contract (copy) Meiji period, 1 piece, 25.5×20.3cm
Doshisha Academy began with just two teachers, one of them Jerome Dean Davis (18381910). This is a draft of his employment contract. Davis was a devoted missionary working in
Kobe, and eagerly agreed to help when he learned of Niijima’s plan to build a school. Some ofDavis’ students in Kobe became among Doshisha Academy’s first enrolled students. Davis wastherefore one of Doshisha’s most important supporters in the school’s early years.

D. W. Learned’s Contract (copy) 1884, 1 piece , 21×33.5cm
Not long after establishing Doshisha Academy, Niijima invited a missionary named DwightWhitney Learned (1848-1943) to join the faculty. At that time missionaries were expected tohave a well-rounded education and be expert in many fields, and D. W. Learned was no
exception. In the school’s early days Learned taught classes on such wide-ranging topics as
Christianity, language, economics, and astronomy. When Doshisha was granted university
status in 1920, he served as president, and over more than half-a-century made significant
contributions.

The present Mount Vernon Church

On September 24, 1874 (Meiji 7) at Mount Vernon Church in Boston, Niijima wasordained a minister. At the service, his former Amherst professor Julius Hawley Seelye(1824-1895) gave a dedicatory sermon based on John 12:32. Sticking to old Puritan
principles, both Amherst College and Seelye made a deep impression on Niijima andcontinued to inspire him long after he completed his three years of study there.

After graduating from Amherst, Niijima consulted with Alpheus Hardy and agreed tocontinue his studies at Andover Seminary. Beginning in September 1870 (Meiji 3), Niijima
enrolled in a special course. Andover taught New England theology, and educated it students
for careers as ministers and missionaries. In 1872 (Meiji 5), while studying at Andover,Niijima was asked by the Iwakura diplomatic mission to advise Tanaka Fujimaro, who had
been sent to study and report on Western education. Serving as Tanaka’s translator, the two
toured the US and seven European nations, studying education, hospitals and newspapers.
Throughout the US and Europe Niijima saw first-hand the important links between
education and Christianity, and this became the basis for his own educational philosophy.

Portrait of Niijima Jo and Yae

This is a picture taken shortly after Niijima and Yae were married. Niijima wears western
clothes, while Yae wears a kimono, holds a Western hat and wears Western shoes. In the early
Meiji period it was extremely rare to see anyone wearing Western clothes. The author
Tokutomi Iichiro (better known by his later name, Tokutomi Soho) famously mocked Yae forthis mixture of western and Japanese fashions, calling her a “nue,” a shape-shifting phantom(yokai) in Japanese folklore. The wedding ceremony took place at the home of J.D. Davis, andwas the first Christian wedding ceremony in Kyoto.

＜Niijima’s Residence＞

Niijima’s Residence Shortly After Construction

Niijima and his wife were not only married in Western style, they lived in Western style aswell. One example is taking up residence in their new house as a couple. The house was builtwith a donation from Joshua Montgomery Sears, who had lived in Boston with the Hardy’s
at the same time when Niijima was a student in the US. The Niijima house was built on thesite of the home of Takamatsu, which Doshisha Academy leased for a school building when it
first opened. The two-story, wooden building has a western-style exterior, while the interior isin a more Japanese style making it an example of an east-west aesthetic. In 1985 (Showa 60)
it was declared a Tangible Cultural Property in Kyoto, and is open to the public for visitation.

J. D. Davis and D. W. Learned, both missionaries sponsored by the American Board ofCommissioners for Foreign Missions, devoted their lives to nurturing Doshisha. Davis wasboth professor and administrator, while Learned taught a wide range of topics, including thefirst course in Japan on economics. Because of their enormous contributions, Davis Memorial
Auditorium and Learned Memorial Library on the Kyotanabe campus are named for them.

After Niijima’s death in 1890, supporters of Doshisha decided to collect money to build a
Theological Hall, but unfortunately little came of these efforts. At this point an Americanbusinessman named B. W. Clarke donated $10,000 to construct a building in honor of his
deceased son, B. S. Clarke. With this donation as a basis, Byron Stone-Clarke Memorial Hall
was completed in 1893 (Meiji 26) with its distinguishing spire. This housed Doshisha’s
Theology Department until 1963 (Showa 38) when the current Theology Building wasconstructed. At that time this hall was renamed Clarke Memorial Hall.

Diagram Showing the Relationship between Christianity and Doshisha’s Educational Philosophy

Christianity is the central support of Doshisha’s other pillars: liberalism, andinternationalism. Together, these principles shaped the central character of Doshisha.
Niijima respected each individual student as the unique creation of God. From that basis,
Doshisha is committed to nurturing each individual student. As a result of this educational
system, Doshisha has produced many talented people who have pioneered in various fields,
and brought into their work the Scriptural commands to value each person as “the salt of
the earth” (Matthew 5:13) and the “light of the world” (Mathew 5:14).

Doshisha and Christianity

The Doshisha holds many documents related to the early
history of Doshisha. Among these are those related to Niijima’s
thoughts on Christian education, the relationship between
Christianity and the larger society, as well as many materials
demonstrating his educational vision for the kind of person hewished to Doshisha to produce.

Exhibition Documents

Pledge of Engaging the Mission Work in Japan by the “Kumamoto Band” (copy) January 30, 1876, 1
scroll, 21.5×73cm

This record shows the names of the “Kumamoto Band” members, who were among
Doshisha’s earliest students. The Kumamoto School for Western Learning was headed by theAmerican teacher Leroy Lansing Janes (1838-1909) who had an enormous influence on the 35
students who signed this pledge on January 30, 1876 (Meiji 9) on Mount Hanaoka in which
they committed themselves to their Christian faith. In 1876, the Kumamoto School for Western
Learning was closed and the Kumamoto Band students transferred to Doshisha.

Manuscript of Niijima’s Speech on Women’s Education at Baika Girls’ School (copy, portion), Meiji
period, 4 pieces, 12.5×20cm

Baika Girls’ School was opened in Osaka in 1878 (Meiji 11) after the Prefectural Governor
approved its application as a Christian girl’s school. Niijima gave a speech at this school in theearly years of Meiji, talking about the connections between women’s education andChristianity. In this speech he said “For improving society, is there anything more important
than an education based simultaneously on both knowledge and virtue? Education andChristianity are the two wheels by which civilization moves forward.” This differed from theprevailing idea of women’s education, which focused on housekeeping.

Exhibition Documents

Manuscript of Niijima’s Address at Nanzan Gijuku (copy), 1882, 1piece, 19.7×26cm
Nanzan Gijuku (Academy) was a private school for young people, and its education was
based on the principles of the Freedom and People’s Rights Movement. On April 30, 1882
(Meiji 15), Niijima delivered this congratulatory speech at the Academy’s opening ceremony.
The Academy was south of where Doshisha International Junior and Senior High Schools
now stand, and near the Fugenji River.

The Purpose of the Foundation of Doshisha University（copy）1888, 1 book, 21.5×14.8cm
This is a pamphlet distributed beginning in November 1888 (Meiji 21). Niijima articulated
the founding principles, while the journalist and intellectual Tokutomi Sohō wrote thecontents. It was printed in magazines and newspapers throughout the nation and was thus
widely seen. The central principle for the founding of the new school was to train citizens tobecome “the conscience of the nation,” an idea Niijima took directly from his experiences in
Europe and the United states.

Exhibition Documents

Calligraphy, “The source of self-government and freedom” (copy）, 1888, 1 piece, 23.5×17cm
Niijima believed that “a nation could not improve through the strength of just a few heroes.
Instead, it depends on citizens who are both knowledgeable and virtuous and this in turnrequires an educational system that unites the nation.” These are ideas Niijima outlined in
his “Purposes of the Foundation of Doshisha University” and that guided him in the creationof Doshisha. In Japan in the age of the new Meiji Constitution, Niijima aimed at producing“self-governing, independent citizens,” and a “national conscience.” In this exhibit we see thecalligraphy in which Niijima inscribed these ideals.

Letter from Niijima Jō to Yokota Yasutada,November 23, 1889 (copy), 1 item, 18×169cm
On November 23, 1889, Niijima wrote this letter to a fifth-year Doshisha student named
Yokota Yasutada. Niijima writes about the new Meiji Constitution and the responsibilities
awaiting the nation’s new legislature (the Diet). He also uses the expression “conscience,”
saying “I earnestly desire that young people of conscience will be raised and sent out.” Thesewords, which formed the central ideal of Niijima’s school, were later inscribed on monuments
and placed at Doshisha as well as at Phillips Academy, a school Niijima attended in the
United States.

Ordained by the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions as a missionary toJapan, Niijima made a dramatic speech at the Board’s 65th annual meeting at Grace Church
in Rutland, Vermont. For the first time Niijima talked about his dream to build a Christianschool in Japan. His audience was captivated and he quickly collected around $5,000 tofurther his plan. This donation provided the financial foundation for Doshisha.

Doshisha’s first building were two wooden classrooms and a dining hall that also housed
many student boarders. The campus moved from Teramachi Street (where Niijima’s former
residence is today) to Imadegawa in 1876 (Meiji 9). Niijima purchased this property, which
had been the Satsuma Domain estate, in 1875 (Meiji 8) with the help of Yamamoto Kakuma.
Even after the official end of prohibitions against Christianity, resistance remained, especiallysince the new campus was directly north of the old imperial palace and just outside the gateof Shokokuji Temple, one of the most important and powerful Buddhist temples in the city.

At the time of Doshisha’s founding, there were many who opposed the opening of a Christianschool, particularly in Kyoto. However, the Kyoto Prefectural Governor, Makimura Masanao(1834-1896), agreed to the plan so long as the school did not teach the Bible. Niijima agreed solong as he was not restricted from teaching the Bible off campus. Following this, Niijima
rented an abandoned shop at Daimoncho where the Amherst House currently stands, and it
was there that he taught classes on the Bible. This classroom was known as the Number 30
classroom.

Early Students at Doshisha Academy

The first graduates of Doshisha Academy were all members of what was known as the“Kumamoto Band.” Following the closure of their western-style school in Kumamoto in 1876
they moved to Doshisha. Following their graduation some stayed at Doshisha as teachers,
others became missionaries in Kyushu and Kanto, and others went into a variety of different
fields of work. Following the graduation ceremony, graduates presented speeches in both
English and Japanese that touched on many themes related to social issues and religion. This
demonstrates that from its origins, Doshisha has always aimed at using Christianity as thebasis upon which to train graduates whose knowledge and practical abilities can benefit thelarger society.

Approximately six months before the chapel’s completion, the cornerstone was laid on
December 12, 1885 (Meiji 18). At this time Niijima spoke about the deep connection between
religion and education, saying that the chapel was the foundation, the symbol and the soul ofDoshisha. The chapel continues to play a central role in the religious life and education of
Doshisha.

By the end of the 1880s new dormitories and classrooms sprung up across the campus, as
the school greatly expanded. In 1887 a new library (currently Yushukan) opened, and in 1890,
shortly after Niijima’s death, the Harris Science School opened, establishing a secure base forstudying physics and chemistry. In 1893 Byron Stone-Clarke Memorial Hall was completed,and at around the same time the official emblem of Doshisha was approved.

In April 1958 the predecessor of the Center for Christian Culture established four study
groups and began a Public Lecture series. In 1981, which was the International Year of
Disabled Persons, courses were first offered in braille and sign language. In 2010, the Centerchanged to an “Open Program” format, extending educational opportunities beyond Public
Lectures. At this point more than 9,000 students and members of the public have participated.

Since Doshisha’s founding Niijima’s emphasis on Christian education has formed a core of
the schools’ spirit and mission. The Center for Christian Culture organizes the Doshisha
Spirit Tour, which provides students opportunities to learn about the school’s founding spirit
and their own place in that history, and then apply these lessons to fieldwork. The tour
alternates every year between the Kumamoto and Annaka-Aizu camps.
Kumamoto plays a particularly important role in the history of Christianity in Japan andof Doshisha. It is the home of the so-called “Kumamoto Band,” which played such animportant role in Doshisha’s early history. Annaka was the home of Niijima’s grandfather(Annaka domain), and Aizu was the home of Yamamoto Kakuma, an influential figure in
Doshisha’s founding, as well as where Niijima’s wife, Yae, was raised.

Doshisha continues to honor the original intention and spirit of Niijima’s Christianeducational philosophy. Toward that end, Doshisha Spirit Week, begun in 2003, nurtures theDoshisha community’s Christian identity and encourages reflection on the school’s founding
principles. Every year for one week in the spring semester (from the end of May to early June)and again in the fall semester (from the end of October to early November), the Center for
Christian Culture hosts a number of events including guest speakers, public lectures, campus
tours, a performance of the Doshisha Cheer Team and other programs learning Doshisha’s
