Chinese students were present at the department of Industrial Design in the Tokyo Higher Technical School (1899-1917) and Tokyo Higher School of Arts and Technology (1921-1944). In this study, we investigated historical documents that survived in China and Japan, determined basic information about each individual, and restored the fact of their studying abroad experience, including student status, entry qualifications and examinations, the content of education and so on.
