Kobun-in

During the Heian period, this was a university school for the Wake clan. It was founded by Wake Kiyomaro's eldest son Hiroyo in his private home south of the university dormitory in the late 8th or early 9th century. It is the oldest university school in Japan. It housed students from the Wake clan and housed several thousand volumes of books that students could use to study on their own before attending university to take lectures and exams. 40 cho of reclaimed land was used to cover expenses. In 885 (Ninna 1), Sugawara no Michizane stayed here, and his poem is included in the Kanke Bunso, so it is believed to have existed until the end of the 9th century, but it appears to have been abolished shortly thereafter.

平安時代、和気(わけ)氏のための大学別曹(べっそう)。和気清麻呂(きよまろ)の長子広世(ひろよ)が8世紀末か9世紀初めに、大学寮の南にあった私宅に創設した。大学別曹としてはもっとも古いもの。和気氏出身の学生(がくしょう)を寄宿させ、書籍数千巻を所蔵して、学生はその蔵書で自習し、大学に通って講義、課試を受けた。墾田40町をもってその経費にあてた。885年（仁和1）菅原道真(すがわらのみちざね)がここに宿泊し、その詩が『菅家文草(かんけぶんそう)』にあるので、9世紀末までは存在したとみられるが、その後まもなく廃絶したらしい。
