We are pleased to announce that we are preparing to hold the NIJL/EAJRS Kuzushiji Workshop in online format in the spring of 2021. As this Workshop series has never been held in online, we are having rigorous discussion with NIJL to be able to deliver the most effective means of the workshop in these pandemic circumstances. Detailed information such as the schedule, contents, and method of the workshop will be notified when we reach a final decision by early 2021.

Since its founding in 1972, the National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL) has worked to facilitate and encourage research that taps into the vast intellectual resources of the premodern Japanese textual corpus. In furtherance of this mission, there is currently underway a plan to establish a global, interdisciplinary consortium of universities, libraries, museums, and other academic associations dedicated to the study of premodern/pre-1900 Japanese manuscripts, scrolls, and printed booksーkotensekiーwith NIJL serving as its secretariat.

National Library of Australia's Asia collection

2020/05/28 (Thu) 16:41 by eajrs
Dear Colleagues,

We need your help! The National Library of Australia decided drastically to reduce its users' access to material on Asia and the wider world, by terminating collecting of material published outside Australia on Japan, Korea (North and South) and Mainland Southeast Asia and potentially also slashing collecting of material on China, Indonesia and the Pacific. From now on, the focus will be on material by Australia about Australians - too bad about the rest of world (see attached).
