Seijo University
Seijo University (成城大学 Seijō Daigaku) is a private university in Seijo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It is operated by the Seijo Gakuen institute. Seijo University has its origins in Seijo Gakuen (成城学園), which was founded in 1917 by Dr. Masataro Sawayanagi, a former Minister of Education. Under the pre-World War II education system it was called ‘Seijo Higher School’. It became Seijo University in 1950.
In 1994 David E. Sanger of The New York Times wrote that Seijo was "one of Japan's less prestigious institutions".[1]
