Kyowa Foundation, Educational organization in Nagatachō, Japan.
Kyowa Foundation is a think tank in central Tokyo that connects governmental, financial, academic, and civil society sectors. It provides scholarships for students and manages a Traditional Education Division.
The foundation was established on December 28, 1974, by former Japanese politician Nobusuke Kishi. In 1983, it began efforts to preserve the building of the former Privy Council.
The foundation supports the Modern Japanese Calligraphers Association and organizes national competitions and exhibitions that bring traditional calligraphy to public attention.
Students can apply for scholarships that provide financial support and resources for higher education and research. Most programs require submitting applications and academic documentation.
The organization played a key role in establishing the Oshu Fujiwara Heritage Museum to address the gap in historical documentation of the Fujiwara clan from the Tohoku region. This helped bring greater balance to regional history records.
