What is "KURENAI"?
KURENAI is an acronym for Kyoto University Repository for Navigating Academic Information. It functions as a compass for navigating the sea of academic information. It evokes "Kurenai Moyuru," a dormitory song from Japan's Third High School, one of Kyoto University's predecessors, making it easy to remember and familiar to those associated with Kyoto University.
