Key Summary

About: The Master in Japanese Literature program focuses on the study of Japanese literary traditions, texts, and cultural contexts. You will analyze various genres and periods, gaining insights into how literature reflects societal changes and personal narratives. The program encourages critical thinking and interpretation, helping you develop a nuanced understanding of Japanese culture through its literature.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles in education, cultural affairs, translation and interpretation, publishing, and academia. Careers in international relations and tourism may also be available, offering opportunities to work with Japanese language and culture.

We cover almost all eras and fields of Japanese literature, and in addition have specialists in Japanese linguistics, teaching the Japanese language, and ancient Chinese thought. More than a century has passed since our school’s founding, and during that time we have gathered a rich collection of books of which we are very proud. In the field of Japanese literature, our Yamagishi Collection and Kurokawa Collection are particularly famous, with their valuable classic books, and researchers from outside Jissen come to view both of these collections. The Japanese literature program of the graduate school does not end with a master’s degree, but goes on to a doctoral program, so for all of our students, obtaining a doctor’s degree is not a mere dream. We also have a system of official credit exchange with the graduate schools of Seikei University and Chuo University.
