Messagefrom
the President

President of
Kyoto Women's University
Tadayuki Hayashi
If you look eastward from the center of
Kyoto city, you'll see the verdant mountains of Higashiyama. In the foothills of
one of those mountains, Amidagamine,
stands the Kyoto Women's University
campus. Numerous sightseeing spots
can be found near our campus, but thecampus itself is situated in a quiet areathat is conducive to learning and to
making the most of student life.

Kyoto Joshi Gakuen ("Kyoto Women's
Educational Institution"), the parent
organization of Kyoto Women's University, celebrated its 115th year in 2014. In
1949, Kyoto Women's University wasestablished to further pursue the missionof providing education for women—amission that we have since been carryingout steadily. Our university education
began with two faculties: the Faculty of
Letters and the Faculty of Home Economics. After a subsequent reorganization, we added the Faculty of Contemporary Society and the Faculty of Human
Development and Education. In 2011, we
became the first women's university inJapan to have a Faculty of Law. In thisway, Kyoto Women's University is taking
on new challenges to meet the needs oftoday, while respecting history and tradition.
One of the things that characterizes education at Kyoto Women's University is
our focus on humanistic education
based on Buddhist principles.
Here, we explore issues of personal
development—an area often neglectedby modern society—and we encourage
our students to value all life equally. Another outstanding feature of the university is that we place special emphasis on
small-group education. Starting from thefirst year, all faculties have small-groupclasses in which students learn through<1>

close dialogue with their teachers andpeers. These accumulated experiences
help students to find their own path inlife. Attention to detail is a theme running throughout the university, from foreign language education to IT education
to career development advising. We also
have a system in which students seeking
employment are assisted by specialized
staff with expert knowledge and experience in career guidance and job placement for women.
While Kyoto boasts numerous historicaland cultural assets registered as UNESCOWorld Heritage Sites, the city has always
remained at the forefront of new cultural
trends. Today, Kyoto is home to anumber of companies that lead theworld in state-of-the-art technologies,
reflecting a fusion between tradition andtechnological innovation.
It goes without saying that Kyoto is acosmopolitan city that attracts people
from all over the world. This serves tofurther enhance the learning environment for students, as we see our numerous graduates go on to achieve successin their chosen fields. We will continue toprovide education programs that simultaneously reflect our traditional values
and meet the needs of today's society.
Most importantly, we remain committed
to fostering women who can play anactive role in the future.

Kazuko OTANITakeko KUJOThe origin of this philosophy, the ladies
school “Kendo Jogakuin", was initiatedin 1899 by Mrs. Wariko Kai. In the following year, Wariko and her husband
Komazo opened "Bunchu-en" (later
renamed "Bunchu Jogakko") in order topursue the philosophy and notion of
initiating Kendo Jogakuin. Thereafter,
Mrs. Kazuko Otani (the spouse of Master
Kozui Otani, the Nishi Hongwanji
Temple Master) who had keenly felt thenecessity for higher education for
women, and Ms. Takeko Kujo, Master
Otani's younger sister who was the President of the Buddhist Association of
Women, strived to reform Bunchu Jogakko into Kyoto Koto Jogakko (Kyoto
Girls' High School) in 1910, which was ahistory-making event for women's education in Japan. In 1912, Ms. Takeko Kujo
and her associates published a prospectus for establishing a women's university. However, due to trends at that time
their intention was not recognized andwas only realized in 1949.

About
Kyoto Women’s University
The origin of Kyoto Women's University
goes back to 1899. Established by ayoung Buddhist named Ms. Wariko Kai,
the objective of the then-named Kendo
Jogakuin was to educate women withthe spirit of Buddhism as a foundation.
In the 120 years since, Kyoto Women's
University has contributed to society asa pioneer of female education in Japan.
Immediately after college education
became accessible for women following
the end of World War II, Kyoto Women's
University opened with the Faculty of
Letters and the Faculty of Home
Economics. Subsequent additions
include the Faculty of Human
Development and Education, the Facultyof Contemporary Society and the Facultyof Law (the first law faculty at a women's
university in Japan), meaning theuniversity today consists of 5 faculties
and 5 graduate schools. The university
has produced a number of talented
women actively working in a diverse
range of fields.

Kyoto Women's University is located in
Higashiyama, Kyoto, which is home to a
multitude of national treasures andimportant cultural assets, such as theKiyomizu-dera temple and the Sanjusangen-do temple. The campus contains
the university's faculties, graduate
schools, and affiliated research institutions. The kindergarten and the elementary, junior high, and senior highschools belonging to the same schoolorganization are situated next tocampus. In addition to visits to historicsites, the location provides various
opportunities to see classical arts and tovisit art galleries. Students enjoy theircampus life in the quiet and peacefulenvironment of Higashiyama. The Kyoto
International Manga Museum, one of theCool Japan leaders, is only 3 stations by
subway from Kyoto Station. The university has outstanding access to otherpopular places in Kansai, situated only
about 30 minutes to one hour from
Osaka, Kobe, and Nara.

Campus▶
The Kyoto Women's University Campus,
spanning across the foothill of Higashiyama, Kyoto, consists of 34 buildings
including school buildings, dormitories,
gyms and libraries. At this historicalcampus, further development of thelearning environment is underway

Studying in "Kyoto"
Kyoto was the center of Japanese history
and culture for over 1,000 years,
between the year 794 when it was established as the Japanese capital and thestart of the Meiji era. The cultural andhistorical heritage is still very visible in
Kyoto City. There are also a lot of places
available for experiencing "Cool Japan"such as Japanese food, sado (tea ceremony), kado (flower arrangement) and fashion, including the Kyoto International
Manga Museum. Many visitors fromabroad also enjoy the multitude of historic sites, streetscapes, and culturesthat are still to be seen in Kyoto. According to the "World Best Award 2018", avoting by readers of Travel + Leisure,
one of the world's most influential travelmagazines, Kyoto has ranked in the
top 10 "world’s best cities" for 7 consecutive years (as of 2018), which appreciates
the world's popular sightseeing cities.
Kyoto also embraces a number of universities and junior colleges, making it
famous as a "city of students". Approximately 50 universities and junior colleges comprise The Consortium of Universities in Kyoto and promote their
credits exchange system by entering
into mutual credits exchange arrangements with each other.

▼Dormitory▲Library▲Kinkaden
The house of Mrs. Kazuko Otani (thespouse of the Nishi Hongwanji Temple's
master), who helped establish the University, was moved to the campus in
1920, and rebuilt as the University's
symbol in 2000.

In 2017 Kyoto Women's University
opened a new library to replace theexisting university library. The newlibrary houses 860,000 titles which is oneof the largest collections held by a women's university in Japan. The new libraryis a “place for learning” with an environment that promotes learning and studying. The new library is located in thecenter of the campus and consists of
two buildings: "Chie no Kura" (storehouse of wisdom) with an open space
for a collection of approximately 300,000
titles, and "Koryu no Yuka" (floor of
exchange) which provides facilities suchas active learning commons, media commons and casual study spaces.
<3>

Currently, three dormitory buildings arein place at Kyoto Women's University.
They are available for about 650 students who come from all over Japan.
10% of the entire student body lives inthese dormitories. Along with the development of the university's campus, alldormitories have been either renovatedor newly built since the start of 2016.
Students can live a comfortable life ineach of these halls.
International students can live with theJapanese students in the above dormitories. They can also live in the International House, which is prepared as a dormitory for international students.

Music Education Course
The aim of this course is to provide a foundation inwide-range perspectives of music alongside the technicalskills required to be a competent musician or music educator.
We develop musical skills in vocal and instrumental performance, analysis, and composition. We foster a critical understanding of various aspects of current musical culture in Japanby exploring the key debates as well as developing the skills of
discussion and essay writing. We encourage an ability in students to consider “musics” from international perspectives,
both in the domain of theory and practice. This course offers
the experience of practicing several genres of Japanese traditional music: gagaku, no-gaku, kabuki (nagauta), and sokyoku.
We also provide special programs for them, inviting top level
performers to Kyoto. Buddhism, the founding spirit of the University, will help students gain a deep understanding of Japanese culture and music. Graduates will have acquired the skills
and gain a deep understanding applicable to various domainsof education. They will also have developed their abilities toengage with a range of social activities with music, contributing to cultural exchanges.

Department of Food and Nutrition
In this department, students acquire the specialized knowledge and techniques needed to become food and health specialists through practice and extensive experiments. During
their third year, students choose one of three courses of study:
clinical nutrition, health education, and research and development. With the advancement of scientific technology, we are
surrounded by ever more prepared food, genetically alteredproduce, and chemically treated produce. At the same time,
lifestyle-related diseases, food allergies, and unhealthy dieting
habits are becoming increasingly serious social problems. In
this department, students look at the significance of dietaryeducation as it relates to maintaining and improving healthand preventing and curing disease. By acquiring specialized
knowledge about food and health, students aim to obtain
qualifications as registered dietitians. This course aims to foster
human resources who are capable of working in a global environment and who can act with a sense of morality and responsibility, even in the face of unexpected challenges. After leaving the university, students are expected to take what they
have learned here and put it into practice in their future professions in areas such as hospitals, welfare facilities, nurseryschools, food service operators, and schools. The department
also provides a solid grounding for those who intend to proceed to graduate school.

Master's Course

There are three research fields—Japanese literature, Japanese linguistics, andChinese classics—in which students
choose their own issues of interest to
research. Students acquire a high levelof research capabilities while collaborating in other research fields. Graduates
look to work in the field of education or
in related fields in Japan or other countries.

Under the guidance of their professors,
students acquire up-to-date knowledge
in fields such as British and American
literature, English linguistics, andEnglish-language education. They also
read English-language documents withthe goal of being able to properly understand, compare, and appreciate them.
Students take tutorials for guidance inwriting their master's thesis in English.
Graduates can continue on to the doctoral course, or begin working as highschool teachers or as English-language
specialists in private industries.

Students investigate issues of theirchoice in the three research fields of Japanese history, Eurasian history, andWestern history. Kyoto's rich history provides a unique opportunity for extensive
hands-on research. Through mutual,comparative research in the three fields,
students gain multiple perspectives anda global viewpoint as they acquire ahigh level of research capabilities. Graduates look to make the most of their new
expertise in history by working in education, research, and other culture-related
occupations.

Doctoral Course
In the doctoral course, students continue
with more advanced research in thethree fields studied in the master's
course. The aim is to provide students
with the wide perspectives and researchcapabilities needed to approach issues
with fresh eyes and open minds. Graduates look to work with research groups
in their field of academia or as educators.

Doctoral Course
In the doctoral course, students build on
research skills acquired in the master's
course and work towards their doctoral
degree under expert guidance fromtheir professors. By acquiring the latest
methodology while at the same time
keeping up on international standards
and current issues in research fields, students will graduate with the ability totake the initiative wherever they work as
researchers or educators. Graduates look
to become university instructors or
researchers in their chosen field.

Three Educational Objectives
1. Abide by the university's motto, whichis also the philosophy of legal education.
2. With acquisition of the basic knowledge dispensed in the Faculty of Law as
a prerequisite, acquire profound academic knowledge from a range of viewpoints, and cultivate excellent skills towork in careers for which a high level ofexpertise is required.
3. To acquire a high level of hands-on
legal knowledge and thought processes,
deepen and expand viewpoints regarding gender roles, and foster an understanding of human rights based on globally accepted standards for today's society.
The fundamental point of the first objective is that "all life should be treated withequal respect", a point common to thefundamental philosophy of modern law,which is "human dignity". The second
and third objectives aim for two forms of
empowerment. Specifically, the second
empowers the student herself throughthe acquisition of specialized legal
knowledge at the doctoral level. The
third aims to contribute to empowering
people in society, particularly women,
by making students aware of the central
issues of gender equality and turning<16>

them into agents of support who canuse their specialized legal knowledge
based on global human rights standards.
Women's empowerment is a process inwhich women have the right to live life
based on their own decisions and thus
put their true talents to work in society.
This graduate school pursues the realization of these two forms of empowerment through its educational objectives.
