We will deepen our knowledge and interest in the 20 writers and poets who represent modern Japanese literature, and at the same time improve their expressiveness.

Two novelists will be picked up in each class. The student in charge gives a presentation, and then the teacher gives a lecture. At the end of the lesson, a confirmation test will be given.
