| Title | My alma mater |
| Description | A streetcar happened to pass by, so I couldn’t help but snap a photo. I wonder if the ease of access via streetcar and train isn’t one of the reasons Kochi University—which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year—has developed so much. I felt that the streetcar is not only an important means of transportation for us, but also a warm, “parent-like” presence that has watched over our growth alongside Kochi University for the past 75 years. |
