TOKYO -- At art universities and departments across Japan, fourth-year students host exhibitions for their graduation or program completion every spring, offering visitors a chance to see the works up close at school or museums.

She hopes the university will step up security at the exhibitions, and in the long run, increase the number of female professors who have a say in the matter.

Sculptor and critic Nodoka Odawara is trying to improve the situation faced by artists in terms of harassment and working conditions.

However, the gender balance of teaching staff at fine arts universities in particular is off, so it's difficult for the issue to get due recognition," she pointed out, drawing on her own experience.

A teaching staffer in charge of the graduation exhibit told the Mainichi Shimbun that they are making the rounds, not only to deal with suspicious people, but to look out for problems with the displays and handle other issues.

Additionally, the university's office of academic affairs and research support said, "We have heard from students about the nuisance behavior, and were in the stage of trying to fully understand the situation.
