University symbol, Musashi University hymn

The white pheasant was inspired by the emblem of the old Musashi High School, designed by Ichiki Kajirō (the second son of the first principal Kitokuro Ichiki), a student of Tokyo Fine Arts School, with two pheasants encircling the characters for 'Takekō' (Takekō). This is based on the Shoku Nihongi, which records that a white pheasant was presented from Musashi Province. According to the 'Record of the School's Founding History,' 'The Kyoshi Pheasant is a bird of auspicious and auspicious signs. The school name is already Musashi. Just as Musashi Province produces such auspicious birds, our school must also gather talented individuals of national talent. This has been used as a badge of honor.' After the war, the old Musashi High School changed 'Takeko' to 'Musashi' with the new education system.
