On March 18th, our first year MA student Brittany Glassey’s work will be featured on the NHK BS Program “Royal Mysteries – The Secrets of the Empress’ Dress.”
In her MA research, Brittany tackles questions around how virtual technologies can be used in the preservation, restoration and exhibition of Tangible Cultural Assets, and within this framework has done research on the taireifuku (manteau de cour) which is part of the Bunka Gakuen Costume museum collection. From last fall, she has been collaborating in the project for the Research on and Conservation, Preservation, and Reproduction of Shōken Kōtaigō’s Court Dress, organised by the Medieval Japanese Studies Institute, where she has been assisting in the recreation of the taireifuku preserved at Daishoji temple in Kyoto.
In the program, the mysteries shrouding the Daishoji taireifuku are explored. It will feature the video Brittany developed to explore how the taireifuku would look like in its restored state, making use of virtual technology.
Program title: 『ロイヤル・ミステリー 皇后のドレスの謎』
Airing schedule: March 18 (Sat.) 9PM NHK BS Premium
* This program might also be featured on NHK world on March 25th, we will update this page with more details

The Global Fashion Concentration (GFC) has been founded for students who wish to gain their MA in fashion and textile studies in English. It strives to bridge theory and practice within a global context with a focus on fashion related art and design. As the course is based in Japan, there are classes offered on Japanese aesthetics and language. An array of trans-disciplinary subjects related to fashion are offered. The core subject of the GFC, titled "Project Research", is led by specialists and industry counterparts and is designed to allow students to develop their individual research proposals both in practice and theory. Students will have access to Bunka’s celebrated fashion library and world-class fashion museum for research and inspiration. Additionally, internships at high profile Japanese brands such as Anrealage, as well as the National Art Center enable students to implement real world connections between concept and practical knowledge. To be eligible to graduate, students are required to complete either a full Master’s thesis, or a collection.
In 2016, GFC launched a double degree program with the prestigious Parisian design school École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD). Students enrolled in this program will have the opportunity to present their MA project at the ENSAD final collection show and exhibition in Paris.
GFC is a concentrated program: Excellence in creation and skill as well as strong motivation, commitment and patience will be required. Successful graduates will be candidates for employment in all areas and levels of the fashion industry across the world, including design, journalism, fashion buying, curation, and academia.
