[100th Anniversary Collaboration Products]
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Kunitachi College of Music, we are working with the local community, Tachikawa City, and various shops that are supporting the various 100th anniversary projects, to plan collaborative products. These planned products are being produced with the hope of looking back on the history that the university has built together with the local community at this milestone of its 100th anniversary, and connecting it to the future.
The diverse lineup will include original design tin badges and stationery, a convenient sacoche bag for carrying small items with a carillon motif, a cute tote bag that can easily fit sheet music, and sweets made with Tachikawa's craft beer and local specialties.
Commemorative products will be available for sale on the special 100th anniversary e-commerce website, at Tachikawa City events, and at other 100th anniversary-related events.
