About Us
Jissen Women's University was established in 1899 by Utako Shimoda, a pioneer in modern Japanese women's education. She sought to educate women to be independent, and encouraged them to play a role in bettering the world.
Our goal today is to nurture global citizens who can, based on Utako Shimoda’s philosophy, bring about positive changes in society and work to shape a better future.
President’s Message
Cultivating globally aware students who can impact society and shape the future
Jissen Women’s Educational Institute, made up of Jissen Women's University and Jissen Women's Junior College, was established in 1899 by Utako Shimoda, our founder, who inspired us with the motto: “when women change society, they change the world.” Our educational philosophy is “Fostering self-confident women who can be independent and self-directing. ” This spirit and philosophy have been faithfully passed down to this day. We will continue to build on this foundation, aiming to enhance education and research further, and to create new educational values rich in tradition and innovation.
