I would like to talk about Kitain Temple’s that I researched. Why do you choose Kitain Temple’s? because I’ve only gone to here that a sightseeing in Kawagoe. In here, a temple  with a long and distinguished history. I like to make a pilgrimage to a number of well-known temples. I think my hometown of temples is better than here. So this time research, I deeply want to know. Therefore, I have three question. About “How long history?”, “What is the famous in Kitain Temple’s”, “What was  Kitain Temple’s motive to build”




The history of Kitain is thought to have begun when the monk Ennin founded Muryoju Temple in 830 A.D. Burned down during fighting in 1205, the temple was rebuilt in 1296 by the monk Sonkai. Emperor Gofushimi made it head of the Tendai Sect temples in east Japan in 1300.
Kitain became the main temple of the three-temple complex after Tenkai became the head monk in 1599 (a carving of him is housed on the knoll next to the main Kitain building).and his friendship with the first Tokugawa shogun, Ieyasu, Kitain flourished. The ChinePreviously Nakain Temple had been the most influential. Under Tenkai's influence se characters used to write Kitain were changed from those meaning North Temple, which has a dark image, to those meaning Temple of Much Happiness. Kitain is today the head Tendai Sect temple of the kanto area. Nakain is now a separate temple, and all that remains of Minamiin is small graveyard.











There are actually 540 of these statues representing the disciples of Buddha. They were carved between 1782 and 1825 with no two statues alike. It is said that if you feel among the statues in the dead of night you will find one that is warm. Mark it, come back during the day, and you will see it is the statue most resembling yourself.

I would like to talk about the library that I researched. There are many foreign books and DVDs to learn English yourself. It is a little bit special, compare to other university, I guess. You can read such books every time. However, do you know how many foreign books are in the library? And do you know how many such books are rented? I had to know what kind of foreign books are rented too. If I summarize these answers, it might be easy to understand about the result of researching. Then I’m going to talk about the result of my researching that “how students use these books to improve their English skill”.
In this article, I will research about “how many foreign books are there”, “how many foreign books are rented in a month”, and “what kind of foreign books are rented in a month”.






There is Taizou Kaneko’s library of celebration of the first campus in Tokyo International University. Many students and teacher are using the library.

In this article, I’ll ask how many books and people use the library for one day and what kind of books in the library. I’ll research about question 1,2,3. The answer that there are many books in the library. Social science, low, novel, comic, magazine, dictionary, etc… Many kind of books. In the library, 2 staff and 10 working students.

 I got much information about library. Maybe I think that we have to use the library. The meaning of existence of library is depended on user. If nothing user, the library is isolated. The good points of the library are two points. First, in the library that there is book is no cost. Second, we have the freedom of the library. In fact, we don’t need to pay for money in the library. So, we have to thank the library.
