Iwasaki Gakuen
Iwasaki Gakuen traces to the Yokohama Sewing School founded by Haruko Iwasaki in 1927. Fumihiro Iwasaki now serves as chairman. The foundation runs vocational colleges, a university, and cultural facilities in Kanagawa prefecture. Asset allocation centers on owned real estate, a museum collection, and a basic fund valued at 38.725 billion JPY as of March 2025. Confirmed positions include a joint-venture stake in MM60・61 Specific Purpose Company for the Minato Mirai mixed-use campus and limited-partner exposure to MyFarm Co., Ltd. The foundation also holds equity in Surara Net Co., Ltd. on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. All activity remains inside Japan. The foundation lists no additional offices and no disclosed headcount. It maintains memberships in the Kanagawa Coastal Beautification Foundation and Tokyo Consortium. Service providers include Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing since 2021 and Ken Corporation since 2024. Ownership of the NPO Information Security Forum at 100 percent constitutes the clearest structural distinction from standard endowments.
