Subjects Unique to Japan and Kamakura

Calligraphy

In addition to the option of joining calligraphy as a special activity, senior high school first year students can take an elective course in shodo, or the art of writing kanji (Chinese characters) and Japanese hiragana with a brush and ink.

Kamakura Studies

Throughout their time at Kamakura Jogakuin, students have a chance to study about the history and culture of Kamakura. Fields of study include:

Field Work in the Kamakura Area: JHS Grade1 students research the natural environment, geography, history and work culture of the area
Literature and arts in Kamakura: JHS Grade2 students visit museums of art and literature
Kamakura Noh Stage: In addition to the Kabuki performance they see at Kabuki-za in Tokyo, SHS first grade students have a chance to see a local Noh performance


 It is hoped that all subjects, where possible, try to incorporate
 references to local culture.

JHS Grade 1 Etiquette Class

Early in the first semester, JHS Grade 1 students have an etiquette lesson, in which they study, among other things, how to bow and how to use chopsticks correctly. This lesson is taught by the tea ceremony teacher.
