history

The university has its origins in the private school founded in 1875 by the statesman, diplomat and founder of the modern Japanese education system Mori Arinori (1847-1889) under the name "Commercial and Law School" ( 商法 講習 所 , Shōhō kōshūjo ). In the beginning, the Belgian curricula and methods, introduced by Prof. Edouard-Joseph Blockhuys (1862-1931), Arthur Maréchal and JJM van Stappen (1852-1915) were predominant. In 1884 it became a state commercial school, and in 1885 it moved to Kanda- Hitotsubashi. There it developed in 1887 to the Higher Trade School ( 高等 商業 学校 , Kōtō shōgyō gakkō ), in 1902 then to the Higher Trade School Tokyo. In 1920 she became the Tokyo State Commercial College ( 東京 商科 大学 , Tōkyō shōka daigaku ). In 1923 the Kanto earthquake badly damaged the school buildings, and in 1927 the college moved to Kodaira and Kunitachi. In 1949 it was given its current name. The university coat of arms is therefore based on the cadre , the symbol for trade and economy.
