Introductory

　The culuture of the Indian sub-continent, whose history can be traced for almost four thousand years back in time, displays not only a careful preservation of its diversity and traditions, but also a wide proliferation throughout Asia, with its influence reaching as far as Japan.
 Our main research fields are Indological and Buddhist Studies. The former include Indian Philology, Philosophy and Religion, the latter Tibetology and Central Asian Studies.
 On the temporal plane, the main research fields are Ancient and Medieval Indian Culuture, but these fields have also direct reference to the study of modern-day problems.
 The research itself is conducted through careful study of original texts in Sanskrit, Pali and Tibetan, and other materials of philological value.
