The Kyoto University Research Centre for the Cultural Sciences

The Kyoto University Research Centre for the Cultural Sciences

is one of Japan's leading institutions for research into the humanities and ethno-ecological studies. It has a distinctive school tradition, as heir to the philosophically-orientated Kyoto School, but differs from the latter in its broader cultural interests. Many of its leading scholars and graduates played a key creative role in the post-war reformulation of Japanese cultural identity.
