Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is a next generation extremely large optical/infrared telescope planned by an international collaboration.The construction will start at Mauna Kea in Hawaii next year.TMT-Japan is starting the production of the segment mirrors for the telescope primary mirror and the design and development of the telescope structure and instruments.I will review the current status of the TMT project and discuss the possible future collaborations in the East Asian community with large optical/infrared telescopes.
