Reflecting on these great achievements as well as the proud traditions of the university, I would like toexpress my heartfelt respect and gratitude for the extraordinary efforts made by successive generations ofstudents, academic and administrative staff members, graduates and people from all sections of society whohave supported the university.
The year 2017 marks the 130th anniversary since the establishment of Tokyo Fine Arts School andthe Tokyo Music School in 1887. With the motto of “温故創 新(cherishing old knowledge, creating new),”anew idea inspired by the old Japanese idiom derived from the words of Confucius,“温故知新 (cherishingold knowledge, acquiring new),” the university has a mid- to long-term vision of solidly continuing theknowledge and intentions that it has inherited while responding to the demands of the current era andsociety. It is striving to be “all Tokyo Geidai”, working to enhance and internationalize its training andresearch even further.
As Japan gears up for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, a great opportunity is coming our way, as our nation’sart and culture will gain attention around the world. Tokyo Geidai also regards the year 2020 as a historicalturning point and intends to organize various activities around it. However, the Olympic year is not thegoal but a stepping stone for the university. Tokyo Geidai will strive to expand and develop the possibility ofJapanese art and culture in a more creative and sustainable manner, hoping that they will further flourishon the international stage.
Tokyo Geidai is an internationally unique arts university including faculties of fine arts and music,a graduate school of film and new media; and since 2016, a new graduate school of global arts. Theuniversity, alongside the faculty staff and administrators will continue efforts to nurture the next generationof outstanding artists, to promote the power of Japanese art and culture and to contribute towards theglobal development of art through a close collaboration with relevant organizations including the JapaneseMinistry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Agency for Cultural Affairs,thereby allowing the university to maximize its capabilities and values.
