Tokyo University of the Arts

"Since the founding of its predecessors, Tokyo Fine Arts School and Tokyo Music School, more than 120 years ago, Tokyo University of the Arts has played a key role in art education and research in Japan by preserving the traditions of Japanese culture and combining them with the ideology and techniques of Western art. Over the course of its history, the university has produced an array of outstanding artists, as well as educators and researchers in artistic fields from secondary to higher education."

The Tokyo University of the Arts is a premier arts university in Japan, with its main campus in Ueno Park. Miara Mitsuki was a regular model here during the years she lived in Tokyo, including in life drawing classes, modeling for specific students or projects, and was a large part of the senior show in 2013. Anyone viewing the work of students during these years might recognize some of her characteristics in their work.
