Sophia Archives Exhibition Space Renewed
Sophia Archives renewed its exhibition space. In the permanent exhibition, we introduce our ties with pontiffs including Pope Pius X, who proposed the Jesuits to establish a university in Japan in 1906 as well as the visit of Pope Francis in 2019 and more. Our milestone in chronological order, along with the details of the Jesuit education is also displayed. In addition, there is a section that features many of our visitors both from Japan and abroad, as well as the photographs of campus strife of the past are shown.
