Outdoor sculpture at Seian University of Art and Design in western Otsu (near Ogoto Onsen Station on the JR Kosei Line). Seian is Shiga's sole art college.
|

I was impressed with Seian University's slogan of being an ”Art Museum on Campus.” These colorful men are gazing at Lake Biwa.
|
|
It is indeed like an art museum with numerous galleries on campus open to the public.
|
|
Most of the time, the galleries show work by the students. They undergo a screening to get an exhibition slot, so you can bet that the quality is high.

In Japanese. the university is called Seian Zokei Daigaku 成安造形大学.

Near the main gate of the University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Agriculture is the statue of Hachiko reunited with its master.
|
|
The Hachiko statue is on an empty lawn at the Faculty of Agriculture where Hachiko's master Hidesaburo Ueno (1871-1925), a professor of agricultural engineering, taught.
|
|
The statue was unveiled on March 8, 2015, the 80th anniversary of the death of Hachiko in 1935.
|
|
Hachiko's master Professor Ueno died during a lecture on campus in 1925.
|
|
The statue has been widely lauded in and outside Japan. Like the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station, this statue is destined to be one of the most beloved in Japan.
|
|
University of Tokyo’s agriculture department erected the bronze statue with donations from individuals and companies since 2014 and collected more than 10 million yen.
