Tradition continues: Komaru Kotsu Foundation gift for the library

On September 23rd, a donation ceremony of Komaru Kotsu Foundation books took place in the Senate Hall of Vytautas Magnus University. The event was attended by a delegation led by Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Lithuania in Japan and President of Fukuyama Transporting Mr. Shigehiro Komaru.

The Komaru Kotsu Foundation, which aims to further stimulate interest in Japanese studies, donated valuable publications to the library. Among them, as has become a tradition, is not only academic literature useful for studies and books adapted to students’ language level, but also Japanese comics – manga – popular around the world. These books contribute to the information supply of the East Asian Studies programme and help students get to know the Japanese language and culture even better. Soon, all new books will be available not only to the university community, but also to anyone interested in Japanese culture and language.
