Tokyo Kasei University, Itabashi Campus

Since 1881, we have helped students develop specialized knowledge and high-quality skills. Not only educators but also members of the Career Path Support Center, Student Support Center, and International Studies Center will provide you with the assistance you need to meet your goals.

Mr. Tatsugoro Watanabe established the forerunner of Tokyo Kasei University in 1881 with the aim of nurturing female teachers of wisdom and virtue who could teach sewing. By teaching sewing, women could become independent and contribute to society. Helping women achieve autonomy in this way was our founding spirit. In 2016, we celebrated our 135th anniversary, retaining this same spirit. Our many graduates are working throughout Japan, putting their skills to use in all areas of society. Our first school president, Mr. Seishiro Aoki, sought to develop individuals with compassion for others. He hoped to help women acquire knowledge, expertise in their fields of study, and flexible thinking skills as well as a proactive ability to put these into action Such women, moreover, would always be mindful of the importance of the human heart. Mr. Aoki espoused “love, diligence, and wisdom” as our life creed. These virtues serve as great guiding principles for our students.

Naturally, students enroll in a university to acquire specialized knowledge and skills. However, in the process of doing so, it is important that they discover the issues that they find important and learn how to think about and act upon them. Students do not develop these abilities by themselves. Rather, they cultivate such skills through dialogue and working with others. This empowers students to create new values, live fully, and grow continually. Women play an important role in modern society, and in turn society has high expectations of women. Moreover, women are active not just in their own countries but also throughout the world. The directions women take today offer a glimpse of the diverse society of tomorrow.

Tokyo Kasei University offers an educational environment built for such a society. Here, you can develop your sensitivity and intelligence and learn eagerly with an eye on the future. We teach with the hope that each student will work towards understanding the issues personally meaningful to her and build a foundation for contributing to future society while vividly demonstrating her true self. In keeping with our founding spirit and life creed, Tokyo Kasei University offers a rich educational program, along with plenty of individual support, on our beautiful Itabashi and Sayama campuses. As a school with a long tradition and track record of excellence, we hope to journey with you as you work to achieve your goals.
