Artist's Message

MIYATA RyoheiMetal Craft Artist, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo University of the Arts, Director-General of the Japan Fine Arts ExhibitionCongratulations on completing "Science Tokyo Front" this time.
The idea of IGA Kenichi, President of Tokyo Institute of Technology and the thought of TAKI Hisao, vice president of Tokyo Tech Alumni Association as well as Chairman of Gurunavi to the alma mater was connected, and I was asked to produce a monument to commemorate the establishment of Science Tokyo Front. I also heard that the significance of my work is deepening the friendship between Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo University of the Arts furthermore, and is praying for the both schools to fly to the future, so my heart was filled with passions. For me who creates art through metalworking technology, the connection between "science and technology" and "art" is natural, and the view that the both schools hold hands seems an ideal for my production. I wish for the future development of the both schools and express deep gratitude to everyone who gave me this opportunity.

IGA Kenichi
Tokyo Institute of Technology celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2011. On this occasion, we set up an action plan "Tokyo Institute of Technology 130" to achieve the quality qualified for the world's best science and engineering university in the theme of "education, research and contribution" towards "creation of our country by science and technology", and are going to execute it proactively. Many people's supports are indispensable for its enrichment and expansion. Among them, alumni who are active in many fields are a major support for the university. Science Tokyo Front, which was jointly constructed by Tokyo Tech Alumni Association, which is the mother for the above alumni, and Tokyo Institute of Technology, has been completed. This time, a monument "Flight" produced by Mr. MIYATA Ryohei, President of Tokyo University of the Arts, has been donated by Mr. TAKI Hisao, who graduated from our university to commemorate it.

Congratulations on completing "Science Tokyo Front".
Tokyo Institute of Technology, which is also my alma mater, has a tradition of promoting introduction of science and technology into art such as promotion of ceramic industry. With the idea of Kenichi Iga, President of Tokyo Institute of Technology, I asked Ryohei Miyata, President of Tokyo University of the Arts, to produce a monument with wishes for a collaboration of science, technology, art and culture, and further flight to the future. The future bonds of the schools are represented by fusion of "Swallow", the symbol of Tokyo Institute of Technology and "Dolphin", President MIYATA's production theme. The fact that this monument "Flight" will keep watching further development of the two schools in the future, and that I acquired the friendship between the two schools this time is also supreme joy for me .
