Meet today’s Teikyo.

The Tama area is composed of a variety of geographic areas andfeatures including mountains and hills, plateaus and lowlands. Eachdifferent geographic area has a specific set of vegetation, which inturn provides the food sources for the animals unique to the area.
Tama Hills, where Teikyo University has its campus, is covered witha secondary forest composed of deciduous broad-leaved trees. The
water springs in Yatos – a characteristic mixture of ridges and valleys –have provided the basis for the rich natural environments. In the hills
you will encounter a variety of birds and other small animals. In themountains are the Mt. Takao flying squirrels whose habitat is now
getting smaller and smaller and in rivers and ponds are Yamasemi –a bird species closely related to the common kingfisher - that feed onfish and aquatic insects.
This exhibition introduces you to the primeval times that defined thegeomorphology of the Tama area and then to the modern-day naturalenvironments that surround Teikyo University, providing links between
the geography, vegetation and animals.

Excavations were conducted on
the Teikyo campus up to 2017at the Uwappara, Ryugamineand Otsukahinata sites. Manyarchaeological artifacts from thePaleolithic era through recentand modern times have beenunearthed, contributing to theelucidation of the area’s history.
The excavated remains include
pitfalls during the Jomon period
for catching animals, pit dwellings,
Red-painted Spherical Pot (Sekisai Kyudovillages during the TumulusKame), 9th century, Teikyo University Collection
period, tombs dug into the sidesof the hill during the Nara period and part of a village during the Heianperiod. This exhibition presents TUM’s collection chronologically, mainly
focusing on the remains from Uwappara and Ryugamine sites.
Of specific note is the Red-painted Spherical Pot (Sekisai Kyudo Kame)
found in the Uwappara site that tells a story of the people taken to theTama area from their original North Eastern Japan habitat.

Overcoming the confusion and difficulties during and after WWII,
Teikyo University was founded in 1966 in the city of Hachioji in Tokyo
as the higher educational institute inheriting the same spirit of its
predecessor. While the University began with just two faculties -Liberal
Arts and Economics- it now includes many faculties in the liberal arts,
science and medicine.
This exhibition presents the history of Teikyo University with pictures,actual materials and footage from past years.
