unknown predecessors of
Doshisha in Iwate \
The population of Iwate Prefecture is 1,400,000 with latitude 40 (same as New York). Many famous forerunners were born and raised in Iwate Prefecture. The population of Morioka City is 300,000 and is known as the capital of Iwate Prefecture. It also serves as the central city for Aomori, Akita, and Northeastern parts of Japan. (more) (japanese)

My Cherry Blossom Pilgrimage
Miranda Hannasch (2009-2010 Amherst-Doshisha Fellow)
When I first came to
Japan, I knew I had to do
two things before I left: eat
sashimi and see the cherry
blossoms bloom in Kyoto.
Waiting for the season to
come was the hardest part.
Kyoto is a city with famously
troublesome weather, exchanging
hot muggy summers
with bitterly cold winters,
and often driving its
wealthier residents to seek
second homes elsewhere.

Comparing Japanese Women to gForeignh Women
@\We Are All Different, We Are All the Same \
Robert Clinton Hovis (Center for Japanese Language, U. S. A.)
I as well as many other
students here at Doshisha
University will always
remember stepping off the
plane and into Japan.
Absolutely hoping the
Japanese we had studied at
our own Colleges would serve
us well. As any student of
language soon realizes, it
doesnft ever seem to be enough.

@\ Busan, Korea version
YoungWoo Jang (Faculty of Economics, 5th Year, Korea)
Do you know where the
biggest harbor in Korea is?
How about the most beautiful
beach? Well, the answer is
Busan. While most foreigners
are familiar with Seoul, the
capital of Korea, not many
people are aware of the
beauty of Busan.

Participating in the Los Angeles
training was a turning point in my life
Ayumi Torii (Doshisha Womenfs College of Liberal Arts, 4th Year)
In August 2009, I attended
the Los Angeles training,
which was sponsored by the
Kansai Club. It is no
exaggeration to say that this
experience was a turning
point in my life. I was able
to discover new goals and a
lifestyle that mark the center
of my life.

Join us at the Kyotanabe gathering!
Some people might worry
the English Newspaper Club
Meeting is complicated. But
itfs quite easy to participate
because it doesnft require one
to speak English. We simply
hang out and exchange with
international students during lunch. Itfs a great opportunity
to bounce off ideas and to
share experiences with one
another.(more) (japanese)
