Sanpo University (Wandering University)

This is a project that involves walking through this place we call “Tokyo”, visiting towns, alleys, topographies, buildings, waterfronts, and more as we trace the overlapping layers of time and memory from the past to the present to interpret the everyday act of “walking” or “wandering” in an academic way. The program will also hold a series of special lectures while walking through the streets as fieldwork practice. Sociologist Syunya Yoshimi will serve as president, with architectural historian Hidenobu Jinnai as vice president of the university, through which they will host walking tours of the city and a series of guest lectures.
