The International Master’s Program in Japanese Humanities (IMAP) at Kyushu University is a two-year English-taught postgraduate program offered by the Graduate School of Humanities that provides advanced interdisciplinary training in Japan Studies with a strong emphasis on premodern Japan and its cultural, historical, and intellectual connections to East Asia. The curriculum combines specialised coursework and closely supervised small-group seminars in fields such as Japanese history, literature, art history and visual culture, religion, linguistics, geography, and premodern Japanese languages (including kanbun and bungo), along with methodological and research-based modules that develop critical analytical and academic writing skills.
