Does the name "Bunkyo" (lit. "capital of letters") have anything to do with Todai's presence? I've always assumed as such, but I haven't seen any evidence. -- Sekicho 05:27, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)

It is strongly supposedly, but no evidence. Further information is available at their official site. It combines two notion "education(or humanities)" and "capital(or city) ". But we must remark Todai is not only one educational faculty in this ward at that time, though the most significant. This area, specially Yushima was known already in the Edo period, an academic site thanks to Shoheizaka gakumonjo, later Todai. --Larus.r 06:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
