Our student booklet : Tomo no Hon

Welcome to our Tomo no Hon. This is the student magazine of Tomo no Kai. Normally, you can expect 6 editions throughout the year, sometimes 5 through the year and a summer edition. We fill the Hon with ideas, fun facts, information of your Japanese studies, useful tips, and at the end some sort of puzzle as well. The ideas mainly come from our scriptor and some articles may be written by our praesidium members other than our scriptor and Tomo no Kai members. However, once in a while some of our Professors or lecturers may make a special appearance. Not only they but also you can make an appearance. (See further down the page for submissions). 
 
The Hon will stay available in printed format (although limited amount) on the fifth floor of Blandijn near the end of the hallway on the usual table. Once the printed versions are available on the table it will be posted on our socials (both Instagram and Facebook) so you can get your copy. If there is nothing on the table, one of our praesidium members will add more copies. If that hasn’t happened then our stock would be empty and we won’t be adding any printed copies. Fortunately we will always have an online version available on this page. 
 
Online available copies of the Hon have started due to Covid-19 as no one was able to be on campus and get a printed copy. Ever since they have become available on this page. However, as some like to have a printed version we ensure that there are always some printed copies available. 
 
Below you’ll find a list of the Hons (since we started publishing them online) that have appeared up until now. Just click the link and enjoy!
