The traditional school uniform is a basic black gakuran with brass buttons while the summer version consists of gray pants and a white shirt. Gas pumps are used for the purpose of heating and air conditioning the entire school. This school also has consistently maintained a boys-only policy despite an increased number of gender equality measures being carried out. All of the characteristics of the equality of the sexes are becoming more important to a modern Japanese society.
