　The overarching goal for Tokyo University of the Arts is to play a pivotal role in the development of art and culture in Japan, while respecting the spirit of freedom and creativity that has existed since the university was founded.

　Art ignites our hearts and invokes unbounded love. Guided by the coming of this age of “ignited hearts,” Tokyo University of the Arts has formulated the following action plan in which strategies for education, research, and social contribution are outlined.

　Naturally, a university cannot succeed on the strength of a dream alone. Therefore, we will continue our efforts to contribute to society through art, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. We will continue to aim to strike a balance between dreams and reality, tradition and innovation. We recognize this as the essence of our mission and intend to pursue this goal with commitment and integrity.
