    Faculty of Letters, Major in Japanese History

In the Major in Japanese History, we unravel history based on various historical materials and are constantly searching for new interpretations. The major is mainly divided into four fields: ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern/contemporary history. With faculty members specializing in each, you can study any period you like as much as you want.

Why not experience for yourself that feeling of connecting the dots when looking at the same past event through various surviving historical materials?
