Constructions of the University of Tokyo

This article gives an explanation of the architectures of the University of Tokyo.

General information

The University of Tokyo was a first modern University in Japan, and there are many constructions, escaped injury of the Great Kanto Earthquake struck or Great Tokyo Air Raids, and symbolize a time-line of Japanese education history.

For all of these reasons, many of which designated as a nationally important listed building or a registered tangible cultural heritage. Although not be designated them, there are some collages which are rated highly by architects. This article gives an account the buildings of the collage which focus on registered important cultural properties or registered tangible cultural heritage that exists now or once existed with historical significance.^[1][2][3]

the collage in Hongo campus

Hongo campus

In Hongo campus, there are many old historic pieces of architecture, Yasuda Auditorium, the first registered tangible cultural heritage of Tokyo, front gate, the porter's lodge of it, Faculty of Law & Letters Bldg.1, Faculty of Law & Letters Bldg.2, Faculty of Law & Letters Bldg.3, Faculty of Engineering (Reppin-kan), and Faculty of Engineering Bldg.1 are registered as tangible cultural heritage. Out of these collages, except the front gate all buildings were designed by Yoshikazu Uchida. By reason that they are common characteristic Gothic style buildings, they called Uchida Gothic after it's architect.。 Such as Faculty of Medicine Bldg.3 (administration building of Medicine), there are many Uchida Gothics in the campus.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Gates

• the Front gate

It is located in west of the campus, and faced Hongo dori. Combined with the porter's lodge, located side of the Front gate, they registered as tangible cultural heritage.The year of the completion was 1912, and the designer was Chuta Ito.

• Aka mon (赤門, Red gate^?)}

It located in southwest area, and faced Hongo dori, and is mistaken for the main gate, but is in no sense it.

It is Goshuden mon (御守殿門, Goshuden gate^?) which located in Kami yashiki (上屋敷, the closest compound to the Edo Castle^?) owned by the domain lord of Maeda clan. It is constructed when the marriage ceremony of Yasu-hime (溶姫^?), the 21th princess of the 11th tycoon Tokugawa Ienari (徳川家斉^?), to Maeda Nariyasu (前田斉泰^?), the 12th load of Maeda clan, in 1827. The architectural style is Yakui mon, and it has gable roof and from side to side located the hafu (破風, gable^?) style guard stations. It is designated important cultural properties now and was designated national heirloom ago.

The University of Tokyo is commonly called the Aka mon.

• Ikeno-hata mon (池之端門, Ikeno-hata gate^?)

It is located in east of the campus, and faced we can take to the Shinobazu street, and it is near to Yokoyama Taikan memorial house and Kyu-Iwasaki-tei Garden.

This gate gives you good access to Ueno Station and Yushima station. The most of users are the hospital and the medical school workers.

• Tatsuoka mon (龍岡門, Tatsuoka gate^?)

The gate located in south of the campus. and was designed by Yoshikazu Uchida, and completed in 1933. The style came from Tatsuoka-cho, the old name of Yushima 1 chome.On the ground that there exists Tetsu mon (鉄門, Iron gate^?) near it, Most people mix up a vernacular name of Tatsuoka mon with Tetsu mon. The medical school of the University of Tokyo goes by the name of Tetsu mon, and near it there are many facilities of it, hence it was named as Tetsu mon in error.

Formally a gate was installed, but when the work of construction expanding gate piers, it was took away^[4], and the only gate piers remain now.Tatsuoka mon is open door all along the line, civilian vehicles are allowed free access.Near here there are Medical school, pharmacy laboratory.The University of Tokyo Hospital is not far from it, the patients presenting to the hospital drive through the gate.

• Tetsu mon

The gate existed in the south side of the Central Clinical Service Bldg. from 1879 to 1918.In 1918 the university purchased some acres of private land outside of Tetsu mon, on the ground that there was no need to mark off the site of the university by the gate, it was removed.Current Tetsu mon was reconstructed in 5 May 2006 at the same location. Before current gate was put into place, the Tetsu mon was specified as main gate of Hongo campus.

Since formally the admission building of Medical school located, the name of Tetsu mon become synonymous with the University of Tokyo Medical school or the alumnus of it.Nowadays there is Tetsu mon kinen kan (鉄門記念館, Tetsu mon gate memorial hall^?).

• Kasuga mon (春日門, Kasuga gate^?)

It is located in the south side of the campus, and is faced the Kasuga dori. In 2007 it was established as a renovation of an existing privy poster.

It was completed in 2007, and located in the northwest of the campus, and faced Hongo dori as Aka mon and Main gate.It is a small gate, and located background of Faculty of Engineering Bldg.5, and it is only Pedestrians available for passage. To go to the area of engineering department, formally pedestrians should go through the main gate of Yayoi gate, they were forced to take the long way, the installation of this gate provide footslogger with greater convenience. In addition the name of the gate derives from the geographical name of there.

• Kaitoku mon (懐徳門, Kaitoku gate^?)

It is accomplished in 2007 and set near the entrance of Toei Ōedo Line. Around it there are the University Museum of the University of Tokyo and Faculty of Science Bldg.2. The wall of it was made with the blocks of Kaitoku-kan^[5].

It is circularly linked, and it is collectively called Rigaku-bu Kagaku Danchi (理学部化学団地, The chemical apartment complex of department of science｜^?).

The east wing of chemistry department has classic style, and it is unique in the Hongo campus, which has many Uchida gothic style buildings.Originally it forms L-shape, it linked at both extremities with other buildings as presented above now.There is gate faced the road which has bus stop, but it is shut down now, the visitor enter from the entrance of Chemistry Bldg. or Faculty of Science Bldg.7.Sometime in the future there are plans that redevelop the area of Chemistry Bldg. and build high-rise structure, but the east wing is to reserve.
