Contents

It was established on October 1, 1975 (Showa 50). [1]

In 2013 the school had 13 teachers teaching 47 students, with 38 in elementary school and nine in junior high school. [4] By 2017 the student population was declining as Japanese companies sent fewer employees abroad in general and as the economy declined in Busan; Japanese companies by that time preferred assigning employees to Seoul. [5]

Culture

The school song was written Kiyoko Matsuo (松尾 清子, Matsuo Kiyoko), while Taku Izumi (いずみ たく, Izumi Taku) made the lyrics. Kohsuke Obane created an English translation of the song that was posted on the school's official website. [6]
