In 2023, Kyoto City University of Arts relocated its entire campus to the east side of JR Kyoto Station. Kyoto City University of Arts has relocated its campus several times since its establishment as Kyoto Prefectural Painting School in 1880, and this relocation inscribes a new page in the history of the school.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The history of Kyoto City University of Arts has been woven by Kyoto painters who entrusted the future of Japanese painting to the school. Takeuchi Seiho, Yamamoto Shunkyo, and others taught there, and its alumni include numerous painters such as Tsuchida Bakusen, Murakami Kagaku, and Ono Chikkyo. The history of the school exists alongside the challenges faced by painters in their younger days before later becoming masters who shone brightly in the Kyoto art world, as well as the works of artists who became teachers and took pride in representing Kyoto.<\/p>\n
