For Neesima, who was intolerant of restraints on freedom in the stifling feudal society in which he grew up, it was an adventurous quest to seek a land where greater equality, freedom and human rights were the norm.<\/p>\n<p>While studying overseas, he embraced Christianity and started nurturing a special dream &#8211; a dream to provide education based on Christian principles in Japan, fostering people who value freedom and conscience. Ten years later, immediately after returning to Japan, Neesima founded Doshisha Eigakko (English Academy) in Kyoto. \u2018Doshisha\u2019 means \u2018a community created by those who share the same aspiration\u2019 &#8211; the aspiration embedded in the dream of Joseph Neesima. The school song of Doshisha contains the words, \u2018one purpose\u2019, and expresses Doshisha\u2019s ideals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doshisha.ac.jp\/en\/\"><span class=\"undefined\">Doshisha University<\/span> Website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[20019,20018],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Doshisha University - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/eap_partners_doshisha_university\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Doshisha University - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In the late Edo period, the founder of Doshisha, Joseph Hardy Neesima (1843-1890) left Japan for the US at the age of 21, defying an overseas travel ban in the process.
