Cultural Arts Course

This graduate program was established with the explicit purpose of turning out graduates who will pass on the cultural resources of Japan, as well as those of other societies, to upcoming generations as cultural heritages common to all humanity. With this in their background, our graduates, while respecting the cultural values of other nations, will use their knowledge of local, domestic and international cultural heritages for the development of human society as a whole.
