【UTH Art Project】
For Peaceful and Comfortable Waiting Time
― Wish behind Hospital Art ―

In May 2025, as part of the University of Tokyo Hospital Art Project, new artworks, “Naikei – Inner Landscape”, were installed on the first and second floors of the Outpatient Clinic Building.
These works are by artist Aiko Yamamoto and created by using plant-based dyes made from herbs and plants, kudzu and camellia, found around the University of Tokyo Hospital.
By bringing nature into the hospital through art, we hope to provide comfort and peace of mind to all visitors.

【Clinical Observership Program】
Dr. João Augusto Lajus, Oncologic Surgeon and Clinical Staff at the Niteroi Hospital Complex, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, arrived at UTH to participate in a Clinical Observership Program at the Division of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery after his training at Kyoto University.

In the past ten years, he has had the opportunity to participate in a short-term observership program at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo and New Tokyo Hospital in Chiba, where he was able to learn deeply about detailed open and minimally invasive surgical techniques in Japan.

While serving as a Fellow of Liver Transplantation at Albert Einstein Hospital, São Paulo, in 2024-2025, his previous Japan experience has further inspired him to come over to Japan again to obtain new knowledge and technical skills on living donor liver transplant (LDLT) this time at UTH.

He looks forward to cultivating exchanges with medical staff at UTH as well as reconnecting with his old friends and contributing to his patients back in Brazil with valuable experiences he will surely accumulate this time.
