Freedom is a matter of tremendous significance, not least because there can be no art without it. Since its inception, Tama Art University has been dedicated to the pursuit of both freedom and art. However, the concept of freedom incorporated in the university’s ideology is not a gift but an obligation. Without exercising strong personal will, freedom is reduced to nothing more than a means to an end. Will creates freedom, and freedom fosters will. This dialectic forms a strong current underlying the activities of Tama Art University. Today the tides of globalization are sweeping the world, while at the same time simmering resentments are giving rise to attitudes of e…

In 1930, educator Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, the founding president of Soka Gakkai, published the first volume of The System of Value-Creating Pedagogy.

Some University’s school motto, “To–So–Kyo–Ai,” from which the name of Soai derives, has guided this school for a long time. “To–So–Kyo–Ai” comes from a line of the “Sutra of Immeasurable Life as Expounded by Sakyamuni Buddha,” which is one of “The Three Pure Land Sutras” upon which Mahayana Buddhism (especially Jodo Shinshu Buddhism ) is based. As for the translation of “To–So–Kyo–Ai,” “To” means “should,” “So” means “each other,” “Kyo” means “respect,” and “Ai” is “love.” In total, the phrase means that people should love and respect each other. In extending this phrase, we can arrive at the meaning, “You should love and respect other people just as you do yourself.” Mo…
