JAPANESE CULTURE CLASSROOM
Established in 1996, many traditional Japanese folk art items, costumes and accessories, and utensils were used in decorating this classroom. These are not only useful in providing actual conversation practice, but serve as cultural teaching materials. The department attaches great importance to culture in language learning. Designed in Japanese style (tatami mats, floorboards, Japanese style kitchen), the displays feature traditional cultural objects, vases, tea sets, along with 10 sets of summer and winter kimono with waistbands and geta.
In 2018, sponsored by fellow Sado (Japanese tea ceremony) enthusiasts in Taiwan, the culture classroom was rennovated into a space based Sado room standards. Sado is considered the best introduction to Japanese culture for the study experience of Japanese-major students. At first, this space for Japanese culture education was set up as an auxiliary tool for Japanese language learning. Even those who are not learning Japanese language can also increase their knowledge of the Japanese culture through experience and practice in Sado.

To this end, the MCU Taoyouan Library established the Fu-Chi Special Collection.
