Past, Present and Future of Japanese Studies in Spain (2022)

Falero, Alfonso
Rodriguez, Jorge

In recent years, the emergence of new undergraduate and graduate studies specializing in Japanese studies has been a constant. An updated study on the situation of Japanese Studies in Spain has recently been published. Since our intervention at the EAJRS Congress in 2004, many things have changed and others not so much. It is time to take stock.

Japan up close: prefecture by prefecture (2022)

Ivanova, Tsvetomira Hristova

The newly designed course "Japan up Close: Prefecture by Prefecture" at Sofia University acquaints students in depth with the main administrative-territorial unit of Japan - a historical overview of its formation, as well as its contemporary socio-economic image. The relationship between local and central government in Japan as well as the specifics of each prefecture are a good starting point for studying the development of social relations in Japan, much needed to complement, enhance and contextualize the language skills of students and lay the foundation of their future a Japanologists.

The Specific Limits of Library Scholarship on Japan (2022)

Kelly, Michaela

With a glut of Ph.D. trained researchers seeking ever-fewer tenure-track positions in Japan and the U.S., open access and online, digital resources made available to researchers without regard to their academic affiliation have become ever more crucial to all fields, but the field of Japan studies in particular. In many ways, researchers today have more access to Japan studies materials for free and from anywhere than ever before. Despite this increasingly varied set of resources however, in interviews with 10 unaffiliated researchers, I found that they struggled to conduct research and often felt stymied in the confines of the open-access digital realm.

How can we deliver digital archive contents? (2022)

Kamiya, Nobutake
Egami, Toshinori
Magnussen, Naomi Yabe
Fukusima, Yukihiro
Iino, Katsunori

We would like to continue the panel discussion we had last year. This year, the invited panelists and European librarians will discuss on the theme “how to deliver digital archive contents to the people who need them”.
The reach-out of digital archive contents is very important for European librarians, and although the panel discussion will not present any results, we believe that it will be the germ of some new thoughts and ideas for the listener.

Digital Archives of the Shoho Ryukyu Kuniezu and Wako-zukan (2022)

Kuroshima, Satoru
Suda, Makiko
Nakamura, Satoru

In December 2021, the Historiographical Institute at the University of Tokyo released high-resolution digital images of Shoho's Ryukyu Kuniezu and Wako-zukan, which are included in the Shimazu Family Documents, a national treasure. In this presentation, we will introduce the Ryukyu Kuniezu and the Wako-zukan, as well as the system we have constructed.

Developing the Japanese Canadian Researchers Directory & Bibliography (2022)

Rocha, Fabiano Takashi

In this presentation, I would like to introduce the Japanese Canadian Researchers Directory & Bibliography – one of the key outcomes of the Ours to Tell Project whose primary goal is to ensure adequate representation of Japanese Canadians in the process of telling Japanese Canadian communities’ stories. The directory and bibliography can be used by anyone who expresses an interest in Japanese Canadian history (and other relevant disciplines), but it aspires to be a reference tool for outsiders, and individuals who are responsible for making decisions about policy and funding.
