The former main building of Jingū-Kōgakkan , built in 1919, repaired in 2007

The Kōgakkan University ( Japanese 皇 學 館 大学 , Kōgakkan daigaku ) is a private university in Japan . The main campus is in Ise in Mie Prefecture . This is, next to Kokugakuin University , one of the two universities that have the training course for Shinto priests.

history

The university has its origins in Jingū-Kōgakkan ( 神宮 皇 學 館 , German "Institute at Ise-jingū for Japanese history, tradition and Shinto studies") founded in 1882 . The institute was first a priestly school for the Shinto shrine . In 1903 it became a state technical college and in 1919 it moved to the Ise campus. In 1940 the name Jingū Kōgakkan University ( 神宮 皇 學 館 大學 ) was used.

In March 1946, the university was closed by the Shinto directive ( 神道 指令 , Shinto shirei ) from the SCAP , because it was a state research center of State Shinto . Ultimately, in 1962, the university was rebuilt as a private Kōgakkan University.

In 1998 the second campus opened in Nabari (Faculty of Welfare). The campus closed in 2011 and the faculty there moved to Ise because the rural campus had only a few students.
