The '''Tokyo Orthodox Seminary''' was established in 1879 by [[Archimandrite]] Nicholas, the future St. [[Nicholas of Japan]], on the Tokyo site of the headquarters for his Orthodox Christian mission to the Japanese. The headquarters were located on the property that he purchased in September 1872 in the Surugadai Kanda section of Tokyo. Today, this is also the site of the principal Cathedral of the Church of Japan, the [[Holy Resurrection Cathedral (Tokyo, Japan)|Holy Resurrection Cathedral]], better know as Nicolai-do, and the administrative offices of the Church. The [[seminary]] has educated Japanese since its founding and has provided an education for the Japanese [[clergy]] continuously except for the World War II years and its immediate aftermath.
