The restoration work on the "Portrait of Priest Ku

The restoration work on the "Portrait of Priest Kukai", a cultural property donated to Keio by the Century Cultural Foundation, has been completed, and the piece returned to the Keio Museum Commons (KeMCo) in March.

The two-year restoration process was carried out in the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo, in which the hanging scroll was dismantled and new silk was added to repair the portrait. During this process, when the lining paper was removed, it was discovered that the reverse side of this paper had been gilded with gold leaf for a portion of the pedestal depicted in the portrait. The gold leaf cannot be observed from the surface — a valuable discovery that was revealed only because of this restoration project, which was an opportunity that arises only once every approximately 200 years.

This restoration project was supported by the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, the Asahi Shimbun Foundation, and the Sumitomo Foundation.

A group of students from the Keio SDGs Student Con

A group of students from the Keio SDGs Student Conference made a presentation at a symposium at the United Nations University (UNU) early last month as part of a symposium titled Accelerating Transformative Actions: The Role of the Private Sector in Sustainable Development, co-hosted by UNU and xSDG Laboratory of the Keio Research Institute at SFC.

In their presentation the students talked about what the Student Conference does to help achieve the SDGs, the diversity in the Keio student body, and their idea for a textbook circulation system that promotes sustainability.

The Student Conference is made up of students selected from across all of Keio's undergraduate faculties and is a project-based component of Keio University's ongoing "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"-related activities. During the sessions, student members engage in discussions with each other while consulting with experts to propose an overall vision, specific goals, and obtainable targets for Keio University to make progress towards its SDGs.
