Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
It is truly a great pleasure and honor to be part of the Ogawa-Zemi under the supervision of Professor Keiichi Ogawa. As a student of Japanese Studies with a strong interest in education economics and international development, I have always aspired to study in an environment that challenges me both academically and personally, and I believe I have found that in this place.
