History
Joshibi was founded on October 30, 1900, as Private Women's School of Fine Arts (PWSFA) located in Hongo-ku (now Bunkyo-ku), while female students were not admitted to membership of the Tokyo University of the Arts until 1946.
Joshibi founding members include Tamako Yokoi (former tutor of Joshi-Gakuin School) and Bunzo Fujita (former Professor of Tokyo University of Arts). Fujita served the first principal, and created school's logo "美 (Bi)". PWSFA was officially oped in April 1901 with 60 students at Yumi-cho. PWSFA suffered from financial difficulties six months after the school opened. Yokoi and Fujita petitioned Shidu Sato (wife of Susumu Sato (Military Physician)). Sato's family owned PWSFA in January 1902, Shidu served the second principal. Yokoi died on January 4, 1903, from stomach cancer. Yumi-cho campus was burned down in October 1908. Kikuzaka campus was opened at Kikuzaka-cho in July 1909. Joshibi High School of Art and Design was opened in April 1915, Fujita serve the first school principal.
