Kyoto Seika University, with its Faculties of Art, Design, Manga, and Humanities, is best described as “A Place for Expression.” Seiichi Okamoto, its first president, established the essential principles that have long supported this “Place for Expression.” On founding the school, Seiichi Okamoto envisioned the creation of an entirely new kind of university education, and passionately advocated the concept of a university based on the spirit of freedom and autonomy. Even today, Kyoto Seika University continues to pursue those original ideals.
