Kwassui Women's University Higashiyamate Campus

The staff at student office are really helpful

I'm a graduate of this university ❗ I haven't visited since I graduated, I wonder if the inside has changed a lot, I miss it very much.

Katsumizu Women's University was founded in 1879 (Meiji 12) and is the first girls' school in Japan. The name of the university “live water” is based on the statement that “the live gospel preached the natural gospel to the woman of Samaria” in 4:10 Gospel of John. The spirit of architecture is stated as “Muscle of Jesus, Christ, the spring of wisdom and life”.

1879.12.1 Elizabeth Russell opened the school as a live water girls' elementary school based on the concept of "Living Water". This year marks the 138th anniversary of the opening of the school. In Hoeicho, there are junior high schools such as girls' high school (special entrance course, regular course, music course). In Higashiyamate, there is Katsumizu Women's University (Faculty of Music, Faculty of Health and Living, Faculty of Nursing, Graduate School). By the way, Masamoto Okuno also serves as director and director.

The predecessor of this place is a girls' school, which was named Live Water in the sense of “living water” and was opened by an American missionary in 1879. “Living water” means that in John 4:14 “But those who drink the water that I give will not be forever dry, and the water I give will be a spring among them, The water that will lead to eternal life will rise. " I have never entered the campus, but I can only feel it from the Dutch slope.
