RESEARCH CENTER

Center for the Development of Educational Materials on Classical Japanese Literature

The goal of establishing the Center for the Development of Educational Materials on Classical Japanese Literature is to help train a new generation of future-oriented scholars able to draw connections between the literature of classical Japan and the wider world beyond. To attain this goal, the faculty composing the Center—specialists in classical literature, Japanese bibliography, and Japanese linguistics, together with primary-school teachers of Japanese Language—are cooperating to develop new materials and methodologies for teaching classical Japanese literature, integrating the cursive kuzushi-ji script throughout and making full use of the intellectual resources such classical texts have to offer.
