Perelandra Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/mahoutokoro Japanese Wizarding School Mahoutokoro ( literal translation Place of Magic ) It may also be one of the oldest Schools of Magic and is described as ancient. Students attend from age 7, boarding at 11 years old. The Japanese Wizarding School has 4 houses. Boarding students are split among four houses, House Seiran, House Yosamu, House Toppuu, and House Shunrai. Houses reflect specific events in nature and attributes that are exemplified by students within each placement. House Seiran House Seiran, "Winds of the Mountaintop," is the first student house. Those of House Seiran are characterized by their keen intuition and inner strength. They are known for seeking creative solutions for problems and being fiercely protective of their allies. The House Seiran common room is the Seiran Observatory. House Yosamu House Yosamu, "Chill of the Deep Night," is the second student house. Those of House Yosamu are characterized by their patience and adaptability. They are known for mental fortitude in piecing together parts of the whole and completing challenges quickly. The House Yosamu common room is the Yosamu Meadow. House Toppuu House Toppuu, "Sudden Squall Upon the Sea," is the third student house. Those of House Toppuu are characterized by their quick wit and perceiving minds. They are known for being inwardly meticulous and precise, but outwardly carefree and blithe. The House Toppuu common room is the Toppuu Porthole. House Shunrai House Shunrai, "Distant Spring Thunder," is the fourth and final student house. Those of House Shunrai are characterized by their confidence and curious minds. They are known for testing boundaries and a thirst for knowledge. The House Shunrai common room is the Shunrai Planetarium. https://mahotokoro.fandom.com/wiki/Houses_Overview Students of Mahoutokoro are sorted upon entry into one of four houses. Houses are designated by the learning styles and innate skills of each student, grouped into four main categories. T/N - The houses at Mahoutokoro may not have a direct equivalent as the houses at Hogwarts. The houses at Ilvermorny are based on people's character/ body part and aptitudes e.g heart and healers taken in to Pugwudgie, mind and scholars taken in to Horned serpent Robes begin as light pink and change colour with increasing mastery of magical skills. Wizards whose robes turn white are said to have betrayed the principle of magical practice, with immediate expulsion and trial at the Japanese Ministry of Magic Students also attend non magical school in order to ensure all round education, as decreed by Japanese Ministry of Magic Quidditch was introduced by European Wizards, as a result the Mahoutokoro students became very proficient at the game. T/N - Of Historical interest: Ice skating was introduced to the Japanese by European visitors. The place where ice skating was introduced was at Gokishinuma pond in Sendai, now said to be the birthplace of Ice Skating in Japan. Maybe a coincidence of sorts. It is fair to say that the Japanese became very proficient at Figure Skating, given that both of Japan's Olympic Gold medallists hail from Sendai It still makes most sense that Yuzu would have attended school in Japan rather than UK. Looking at the learning styles of the four houses, which house would Yuzu have been selected for? Link to comment
