Sendai University, the only university specialized in physical education and sports & health sciences in northern Japan, has strived to focus its full attention upon the relationship between physical activity and bodily function since the late 1960s.
Our university has executed its vital mission of helping the young generation grow as physically and mentally sound human resources. The mission is deeply rooted in our educational principle, summarized in "Practical Science and Ingenuity based on Originality." This is inherited from Miyoji Hozawa's philosophy. He was a highly respected pioneer in women's high school education in modern Japan. In 1879 he found the oldest private educational organization called Hozawa Gakuen in Miyagi Prefecture, out of which our university grew out.
In his philosophy, he indicated the importance of practicality, dedication, and challenges in higher education.
Sendai University deployed a practically oriented educational method given creating human resources about the power of sports. Sports build character, and these can be put into practice every day.
Since the East Japan Great Earthquake hit Japan, East North Japan needs to reconstruct our society. Sports give us the power of resilience. One of the university's missions focuses on such dedication.
Sports own these unique functional tools to let people worldwide and play together in an open-minded way, thereby sharing these values, and Paralympic Games will be held. Sendai University has its mission of seeking such internationalization through our university's motto, "Sports for all."
