22(Wed) July, 9:30-12:40iŒv2ƒRƒ}j Prof. Akira CHIKAMATSUi‹ß¼²j Chemistry, Sciencei—Šw•”‰»Šw‰Èj Topic: Crystal structure in solids Abstract: In solids, the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules forms a crystal structure. This refers to the ordered and repeating pattern in which these particles are arranged in a solid. The structure is defined by the unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit that retains the symmetry and properties of the entire crystal. Solids exhibit a variety of properties depending on the combination of elements and differences in crystal structure. In this lecture, we will learn about various crystal structures in solids while assembling crystal structure models.

23(Thu) July, 13:40-15:10i1ƒRƒ}j Prof. Shohei NISHIZAKAi¼âË•½j Japanese Language and Literature, Humanities and Sciencesi•¶‹³ˆçŠw•”Œ¾Œê•¶‰»Šw‰Èj Topic: Kyogeni‹¶Œ¾j Abstract: Kyogen is a traditional form of Japanese comic theatre that has been performed for centuries alongside Noh drama. Through its distinctive language, stylized movements, and humorous portrayal of everyday life, Kyogen offers insight into Japanese aesthetics, social values, and perspectives on human relationships. In this session, students will first gain an overview of Kyogen and observe a live demonstration by three professional Kyogen performers—MIYAKE Tokuro, IZUMI Junko, and IZUMI Motoya. They will then participate in introductory training exercises to experience its basic techniques. Through this direct cultural experience, students will reflect on the characteristics of Japanese culture and consider similarities and differences in relation to their own cultural backgrounds.

Compared to these more widely practiced arts, opportunities to experience Kodo firsthand are relatively rare. Through engagement with this traditional cultural practice, students will explore Japanese aesthetics and sensibilities while also reflecting on their own cultural backgrounds from a broader, comparative perspective. In this session, led by SHIMADA Hanako, students will learn about the history of Kodo, experience glisteningh to incense, and create their own scented sachets. Through these activities, they will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual dimensions of Japanese incense traditions.

31(Fri) July, 9:30-12:40 (Œv2ƒRƒ}j Prof. Tomohiro FUJITAi“¡“c’qOj Physics, Sciencei—Šw•”•¨—‰Èj Topic: Cosmology: Its History and Cutting-Edge Research Abstract: Astronomy is one of the oldest fields of science. Originally developed for astrology and navigation, it has evolved alongside modern science, greatly enhancing our understanding of the universe that we live in. Today, cosmology presents astonishing insights into the origins of the universe and its fundamental components. In the first part of this lecture, I will provide an introductory review of the history of astronomy and key discoveries in modern cosmology. The second half will focus on recent research exploring the possibility that the universe may have a preferred handedness, suggesting a violation of left-right symmetry (parity symmetry).
