In short

Tohoku University of Art and Design is a private university in Kami-Sakurada, Yamagata, with a Gaien campus in Kita-Aoyama, Tokyo. Its Department of Craft Design works with four materials, metal, textiles, ceramics and lacquer (with woodwork), developed in four fields: fashion and jewellery, interiors, craft and fine art crafts, combining traditional handwork with digital tools such as laser cutting and 3D printing. In the fashion and jewellery field students make clothing, bags and jewellery around the theme of things that touch the body; the university also has a separate Department of Product Design.
