Gakushuin University traces its origins to an educational institution for court nobles established in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period. The Ōrinsai, held every autumn, received its name at the 45th iteration. It was so named to reflect the university’s dignified yet steadfast school spirit—like the cherry tree, Gakushuin’s emblem, which stands solid and majestic.
