[Our Site, Uryuyama]
Uryuyama is an area with rich historical and cultural associations, beginning 1,200 years ago, when the first fortress was built here in the Heian period, and continuing on through the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In the Tokugawa period, after the Chaya Shirojiro Kiyonobu, the head of a wealthy merchant house in Kyoto, built a retreat at the foot of the mountain, the area became a destination of many artists and men of letters and a spot beloved by people of culture. I would like to build our university in Uryuyama, which helped foster the culture of ancient times. Recent generations have destroyed our earth; what can we leave to the next era? My hope is to revive the traditional culture Uryuyama nourished and transmitted and to pass it down to the next generation as the birthplace of a new Kyoto culture. This is my wish, and this, I believe, is the proper path for the university to follow.
