Waseda University is one of the most famous universities in Japan. There are a number of campuses around the country, but its main one — and the one where I attended this festival last weekend — is located in Nishi-Waseda, Tokyo. It boasts an impressive roster of alumni: six postwar Prime Ministers; corporate heavyweights including one of the co-founders of Sony and the CEOs of Honda and UNIQLO; and internationally-acclaimed author Haruki Murakami just to mention a few. And every year, its students hold a festival.
