Putri Mega Asmarani, a student studying Japanese language and culture in the Bachelor Program in Japanese Language and Culture of Cultural Sciences at Universitas Gadjah Mada, won second place in the Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) competition held during the Unsoed Japanese Festival. This festival was organized online by Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, with the winners announced on October 20, 2024.

The Unsoed Japanese Festival is one of the events held to introduce and cultivate interest in Japanese art and culture among students. In the Shodo competition, Putri successfully showcased her ability to create Japanese calligraphy that was not only beautiful but also adhered to the essential principles of Shodo.

Shodo demands skillful writing techniques that involve the harmonious use of a brush, ink, and paper. Additionally, the balance and proportion of the characters written, both in terms of size and spacing, are crucial factors in the evaluation process.

Putri’s success is not only a personal source of pride but also an inspiration for the student community that continues to develop their skills in Japanese art and culture, particularly in Shodo.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, Evelin Oktafianny, a student of the Bachelor Program in Japanese Language and Culture at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada, won first place in the 21st Kanji Cup competition held at the LP3M Building of Universitas Negeri Surabaya. This competition was aimed at Japanese language learners, particularly those in higher education institutions or general Japanese language schools.

The Kanji Cup is an annual competition organized by the Consulate General of Japan in Surabaya, the IMC Center, and the Japan Foundation, in collaboration with various sponsors. Although Indonesia is not a country that uses Kanji, this event provides participants with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and improve their skills in Kanji.

In this competition, Evelin excelled in the basic level Kanji category and took home several prestigious prizes, including a trophy, a medal, a certificate of achievement, a 32-inch Panasonic LED TV, a year’s supply of Pocky and Pretz snacks, and a T-shirt.

Evelin’s achievement is not only a personal source of pride but also an inspiration for her fellow students at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Hopefully, this success will further motivate the spirit of learning and foster a greater interest in Kanji among Japanese language learners.

   

On Sunday, November 15, 2015, students from the Japanese Literature Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada, won first, second, and third place in the general level Shuuji Contest (Japanese Calligraphy Competition) organized by the Japanese Language Education Student Association of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (Nikkigakka) as part of the Japanese language skill competition titled NihonGO!3. The three winners were Ratih Dewi Alan, Astuti Puspariani, and Aulia Ilmi Mardhotillah. In the one-hour competition, all three successfully produced their best calligraphy

“Alhamdulillah, I didn’t expect to win this competition,” said Ratih, the first-place winner of this year’s general category Shuuji Contest. The kanji (Japanese characters) she wrote was 深夜 (shinya), which means ‘midnight.’ The beauty, neatness, stroke order, and balance of the characters contributed to Ratih’s success in winning first place.

Ratih added that the seven participants from Universitas Gadjah Mada who took part in the competition were members of the Shuuji Club of the Japanese Literature Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, UGM. They had prepared for the competition to produce their best work. During the preparation, they were guided by a foreign student, Ms. Akane Kimoto from Aichi Prefectural University, who was doing an internship at our program at the time.

Besides the Shuuji Contest, four other competition categories were held at the Mini Theatre of the UMY Library, including Roudoku (Japanese text reading contest), Kana Contest (Japanese script reading contest), Manga Contest (comic drawing contest), and Speech Contest (Japanese speech contest).

With the existence of this competition, it is hoped that more similar competitions will be held to enhance the participants’ skills and increase public knowledge about Japanese culture, which is still rarely explored, such as Japanese calligraphy (Shuuji).

On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the Japanese Literature Program received a visit from the Education Attaché of the Japanese Embassy in Indonesia, Mr. Takahashi Yusuke. The visit was received by the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Dr. Nur Saktiningrum, M.Hum., along with the Head, Secretary, and several lecturers of the Japanese Literature Program. This visit was conducted not only to strengthen the cooperation between the Japanese Embassy and UGM, but also to introduce the new Education Attaché, Mr. Takahashi Yusuke, who will have been in the position for a full year this coming April.

In this meeting, a sharing session was conducted, discussing, among other things, the student exchange program through the Government to Government (G to G) route, both for Indonesian students studying at universities in Japan and Japanese students studying at UGM. The Japanese Literature Program itself provides its students with the opportunity to study in Japan every year. The common pathways for student exchange activities include the G to G program (government-to-government) by participating in the national Monbukagakusho exam, and the U to U program (university-to-university collaboration between UGM and universities in Japan). Mr. Takahashi Yusuke also mentioned that the number of foreign students studying in Japan continues to increase each year. He also shared that this year, three alumni of our program were accepted into the Research Student program.

Regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, the Japanese embassy will facilitate students wishing to postpone their exchange departure to Japan from April to October.
