As a pioneering university that aims to fuse technology and art, Tokyo Polytechnic University has cultivated a large number of human resources.

Its predecessor was Konishi Photography College, founded in 1923. Photography is an artistic expression that uses engineering technology, and since its founding, it has continued to pursue "the infinite possibilities of fusing technology and art."

Tokyo Polytechnic University has evolved with the times as a cutting-edge educational and research institute for technology and media art, including photography. However, its philosophy has not changed since its inception.

We will continue to contribute to the development of world-class human resources in the fields of technology and media art .

Founded in 1923, this university has a history and tradition of 90 years. Konishi Honten (now Konica Minolta) advocated the ideal of ``a school specializing in photographic education is necessary in order to send out into the world human resources who will contribute to the promotion of Japanese photographic technology, and to contribute to the development of the nation.'' Co., Ltd.) founder Rokuemon Sugiura 6th passed away, and Rokuemon Sugiura 7th, who inherited his ideals and wishes, lived in Hatagaya, Yoyohata-cho, Toyotama-gun, Tokyo (now Honmachi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). Founded "Konishi Photography College" in the area.

"(Omitted) The late Rokuemon Sugiura, the former head of the company, was worried about this for a long time, decided to invest his own money to establish a photography school, and thereby devote himself to the Japanese photography world. I have decided to establish this school here in order to carry on the will of my unworthy predecessor (snip).” The predecessor of this university was the beginning of photography education.
