Meaning of Edo Cultural Center

Japan’s current social infrastructure started to take shape during Edo era when Genroku –a magnificent and dazzling aspect of Japan’s culture was at its zenith. Today, Japanese people are often described as having the fundamental characteristics of being ambiguous, noncommittal, and vague, while at the same time being very diligent, and these traits as well as Japanese social traditions and systems began to take root during Edo era. We therefore named the school “Edo Cultural Center” with the hope that many would acquire a deeper understanding of Japanese people, who are generally regarded as being mysterious and often incomprehensible in the eyes of non-Japanese.
