Tsurumi University traces its origin to Tsurumi Girls’ High School , established in 1925 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the death of the great Zen master, Keizan. Keizan founded Soji-ji Temple, the parent temple of Tsurumi University, and one of the two head temples of the Soto-Shu Buddhist sect.
Daihonzan Soji-ji is one of the two head temples of Soto Zen Buddhism. Soto Zen Bu...ddhism is distinguished by its focus on the down-to-earth practice of “Everyday Zen.”It encourages understanding of the workings of one’s own mind as a means to live with a Zen awareness in all aspects of daily life – on campus, at work, and in the community.
We aim to develop individuals who seek truth, offer kindness and sympathy to others, and move continually forward to develop character and intellect. At the same time, we encourage social involvement and investment in local communities. Our desire is for all graduates to both master their field and become community leaders.
We are now preparing an exciting college experience for all our students and propose to bring out the unique qualities of each individual at Tsurumi University.
Today, Tsurumi University is comprised of the School of Dental Medicine (six-year program),the School of Literature (four-year program), and Tsurumi Junior College (two-year program for the Department of Early Childhood Care and Education and three-year program for the Depar tment of Dental Hygiene).
