Musashino Art University (MAU) President Prof. Tadanori Nagasawa visited TNUA on December 3, meeting with TNUA President Prof. Yang Chyi Wen and other university administrators.

During their meeting, they discussed the prospects for exchange and collaboration between the two universities.

Other TNUA administrators attending the meeting included: Prof. Chu Teh-I, director of the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts; Prof. Chen Kai-Huang, dean of the School of Fine Arts; Prof. Chi-Fang Chao, chief director of the International Exchange Center; and Prof. Lin Yu-pin, chairman of the Department of Theatre Arts.

It was the second time that Prof. Yang and Prof. Nagasawa have met since October when the TNUA president visited MAU.

Prof. Yang, extending a warm welcome to Prof. Nagasawa, noted that MAU is famous not only for fine arts, but also for visual design, scenography and others.     
Prof. Yang said that Prof. Nagasawa showed him around the campus during his last visit to MAU, during which he was deeply impressed by the university's facilities and management.

Prof. Yang pointed out that MAU makes good use of the relationships with its alumni from design studies, building up good connections in sectors such as graphic design, theatre and broadcast TV. This enables high employment for its graduates, Prof. Yang said.

Prof. Nagasawa said he wanted to have a better understanding of TNUA during the visit, helping both universities further their collaboration. He said he was also much impressed by TNUA's facilities and management.

He said MAU is increasing not only its international exchange, but also domestic links with other arts universities in Japan in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
