On October 2, 2018, Geidai Art Plaza was opened in the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts in Ueno, Tokyo. The works of students, teachers, and graduates of Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) are exhibited and sold there. This place is the so-called Dejima (*) of Geidai, where works of artists from 14 departments in two faculties are presented to people in society and the world outside the university. In Dejima, there are works that cost tens of thousands of yen while a one-of-a-kind broach is sold at only 1,000 yen. You will find not only works of art but also other unique items with the design of Geidai, such as original biscuits, marshmallows, and museum goods. Also, art books, comic books, and magazines can be found on the bookshelf. Tokyo University of the Arts has only 130 years of history since its establishment immediately after the word “art” first appeared in Japan. Geidai Art Plaza is a place where artists who gather together at Geidai show their creative spirit.
