  • University of Toyama
    University of Toyama Toyama Prefecture is blessed with an abun- dant natural environment which is supported by its rich water resources from the Northern Alps that flow gently into Toyama Bay. Further- more, Toyama has a long history and traditions of educational consciousness which began with the literature of the Manyo period. This history, as well as the various industrial activities that developed based on its renowned pharmaceu- tical and traditional industry which began in the Edo Period, has helped develop Toyama’s unique culture. The Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train service has begun operating and open communication with foreign countries such as China, Korea, Taiwan, and Russia is increasing annually. Toyama has also naturally been the center of attention domestically for its abovementioned history of medicine, industry, craftsmanship, and high stan- dards of education. In October 2005, the former University of Toyama, Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University and Takaoka Nation- al College were integrated to form the present University of Toyama. The university is now an academic and research center consisting of nine faculties : Humanities, Human De- velopment, Economics, Science, Medicine, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering, Art and Design, Sus- tainable Design, the Institute of Natural Medicine, and the university hospital. The University strongly believes in the integration of intellectual resources from across the globe. Under the theme of ‘Integrating knowledge of the East and West’, the University of Toyama has been pursuing academ- ic excellence through the exchange of ideas with various countries in both East Asia and the rest of the world. Our Museum of Materia Medica which houses a collection of traditional natural and herbal medicines from throughout the world, and the Lafcadio Hearn Library, which houses a collection of books owned by this renowned western scholar of Japan, are two examples of our ‘Integrating knowl- edge of the East and West’.

  • Aichi University Prospectus
    Aichi University Prospectus Japan was materially and emotionally devastated as a result of the prolonged WWII. Because the war ended in such a devastating defeat for Japan, it is no exaggeration to say that the country was in danger of annihilation. If Japan is to avoid such destruction, it must do away with the failed leadership and accumulated harmful effects of the old Japan and choose a new path of rehabilitation. The new Japan must throw away traditional militarism and doctrines of aggression. Japan must implement a democracy that is focused on communal existence in every aspect and must rehabilitate itself as a new nation of culture, morality, and peace. In this way, Japan can participate in the global community and contribute to world peace and culture. There are many problems that presently require solutions to establish this new Japan. The most fundamental of these problems is the urgent need to develop scholarship, philosophies, and culture, as well as to nurture refined and talented individuals. When we discussed the reasons for establishing Aichi University at this location, we recognized that this area provides the means to achieve our objectives. Put briefly, this area will allow for the rise of a Japanese civilization that can contribute to world peace as well as the development of talented individuals. Furthermore, there is also a unique significance and mission behind the establishment of this university in the designated area. First, most importantly, the location of this university is a suburban city located in the Chubu region (Toyohashi City, Aichi prefecture). The reasoning behind our selection of this location is that universities must not be concentrated in large cities if we are to nurture a culture of scholarship in our country.
