Tokyo University of the Arts is deeply saddened and angered by the lack of improvement to humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, which is resulting in the endangerment and loss of life for civilians, including many women, children and senior citizens, in violation of international humanitarian law. We hope that the ceasefire will be achieved immediately and that peace will come to the people living in Gaza.
At Tokyo University of the Arts, we conceive of the Arts as zest for living and we will continue to believe in the role and power of the Arts in recognising the uniqueness and dignity of each individual, and will continue to promote educational and research activities toward the realisation of a society in which all people live in peace and happiness.
