The Technical University of Kyōto ( Japanese 京都 工 芸 繊 維 大学 , Kyōto kōgei sen'i daigaku , German "University of Technology, Design and Textile Sciences Kyōto", English: Kyoto Institute of Technology , short: KIT ) is a state university in Matsugasaki-Hashikamichō , Sakyō-ku , Kyōto ( Japan ).
history
The university was founded in 1949 through the merger of the two state technical schools:
- the Kyōto technical center ( 京都 工業 専 門 学校 , Kyōto kōgyō semmon gakkō , founded in 1902), and
- the Kyōto Textile School ( 京都 繊 維 専 門 学校 , Kyōto sen'i semmon gakkō , founded in 1899).
The university was opened with two faculties in the two locations: the Faculty of Technology and Design in today's Matsugasaki Campus, and the Faculty of Textile Sciences in the Kinugasa Campus ( 35 ° 1 ′ 27.3 ″ N , 135 ° 43 ′ 29, 4 ″ O ). In 1968 the Faculty of Textile Sciences moved to the Matsugasaki campus. In 2006 the two faculties were merged to form the Faculty of Technology, Design and Science (Japanese 工 芸 科学 部 , English School of Science and Technology ).
The history of the two predecessors of the university is as follows:
Kyōto technical center
The Kyōto technical center was founded in 1902 as a high school for technology and design Kyōto ( 京都 高等 工 芸 学校 , Kyōto kōtō kōgei gakkō ). It was the third oldest of the Japanese state technical colleges after Tokyo and Osaka . It initially had three departments for dyeing, weaving and product design . In 1929 she founded the Department of Ceramics, and in 1930 she moved to what is now the Matsugasaki campus. In 1944 it was renamed Kyōto Technical Center. The main building, built in 1930, still remains on the Matsugasaki campus today.
Textile School Kyōto
The Textile School Kyōto was founded in 1899 as a teaching institution for silk construction Kyōto ( 京都 蚕業 講習 所 , Kyōto sangyō kōshū-jo ). Ishiwata Shigetane ( 石 渡 繁 胤 ), who found Bacillus sotto ( Bacillus thuringiensis ) in 1901 , was a technician at the school at the time. In 1914 it was renamed Kyōto Higher Silk School ( 京都 高等 蚕業 学校 , Kyōto kōtō sangyō gakkō ). In 1931 she founded the department for spinning and named herself Kyōto High School for Silk Construction and Spinning ( 京都 高等 蚕 糸 学校 , Kyōto kōto sanshi gakkō ). In 1944 it was renamed Kyōto Textile School. Along with Tokyo and Ueda , it was one of the three state textile schools in Japan.
