Since the founding of our university in 1882, Kogakkan University has inherited the spirit of Shinto that underlies our university's philosophy in a consistent fashion, and practiced our philosophy through various academic studies Currently, Japan is facing many issues including globalization, declining birth rate and population ageing, and shallow interpersonal relationships. Under these circumstances, universities are now being questioned regarding what role they should play when facing such issues. Our university, with three schools including six departments in the field of cultural and social sciences, wants to contribute to pursue and restore Japanese human wisdom underlying the aforementioned social issues.
