KOFUKU Kaori: Associate Professor Master(Literature); Department/General Education Division

I am in charge of the Comprehensive Chinese 1–4 courses, and the certificate exam preparatory classes for the Kinki University Language Institute (KULI). Japanese students will likely feel at ease since written Chinese is represented using familiar kanji characters. From there, we proceed with instruction centered on pronunciation. Learn to speak beautiful Chinese that sounds like music! My specialty is literary theory of classical Chinese.

I translate and research the musical episodes from ancient time to the Tang period, which are documented in “Taipingguangji”.
