Humankind does not forget Hiroshima, and never should. In 1945, a single atomic bomb wiped out a great number of citizens’ lives in an instant. It is said that, at that time, 300,000 people lived in the center of city, and most buildings were completely destroyed. The whole city changed to gray. Hiroshima Prefectural Industry Promotion Hall only barely escaped from full destruction, and is now known across the world as the “Atomic Bomb Dome”. It has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After the atomic bombing it was said that “plants would not grow in the area for over 75 years”, but Hiroshima has successfully recovered and developed into a prosperous city with a population of over one million residents. Hiroshima is now an international city of peace, surrounded by abundant greenery. Hiroshima is now not only known as a city where an atomic bomb was dropped, but also as a place of natural beauty, with an agreeable and warm climate.

In summer, people can enjoy marine sports around the beaches, and in winter, people can ski and snowboard in the mountains. MIKAMI Takanori, In Hiroshima, we have very popular professional baseball and football teams, which have both won league championships over the University President past few years. Culturally, there is a highly-successful professional symphony orchestra, and the pop group “Perfume”, known and loved throughout the country, developed their singing and dancing in the city.

Hiroshima is related to the famous battle fighters in Japanese history, Kiyomori Taira, in the 1100’s and Motonari Moori in the 1500s. In addition, the world-renowned Japanese motor manufacturing company “Mazda” has its headquarters located in Hiroshima.

In such prosperous surroundings, Hiroshima Shudo University (HSU) is itself enjoying a favorable reputation as the largest university located in Hiroshima. HSU’s campus is surrounded by a rich natural environment, and it only takes 30 minutes to reach the campus via public transportation from downtown Hiroshima, where the Atomic Bomb Dome is located. HSU welcomes highly motivated students from all over the world who wish to live and study in Hiroshima.

1 2 The Ordinance of Heaven is what we call the law of nature. To fulfill the law of nature is what we call the way. To cultivate the way is what we call education.

The characters 修道 ‘Shudo’, as used in Hiroshima Shudo University, are derived from a passage in the Chinese Classic “Chuyo” (The Doctrine of the Mean), one of the Four Books of Confucian philosophy. The Meaning of ‘Shudo’ The meaning of Shudo can be interpreted as follows:

“Each person receives gifts or talents, For each of us, the development of our gifts is our way, To develop and realize this way is education.”

Observing the significance of ‘Shudo’, HSU continues to cultivate the way co-created by the faculty and staff for each student.
