The workshop was intended as first in a series of regular workshops organised by SOAS and partner institutions with the aim of developing an active research group working on challenges facing the Japanese economy. At the end of the workshop, participants agreed to establish the Japan Economy Network. Since coming to SOAS, Yasmin finds it to be a diverse institution with a variety of students of all races, ages, genders and cultures.
The ultimate goal after completing her studies is to attain fluency in the Japanese language and work with the Nigerian Embassy in Japan. Panel presenters and discussants from the UK, Japan, US, and Europe shared approaches to interpreting the cultural production of early modern Japan through selected materials and media such as printed books, manuscripts, prints and paintings.
Established paradigms, such as elite versus popular, were challenged by discussing materials that fall outside established genres. There was a lively exchange between scholars from various disciplines on the multifaceted nature of the interaction of people and objects, including the researchers position toward interpreting these objects.
At the heart of the discussion were approaches to reconstructing and framing cultural production as a dynamic field of concrete historical realities through the study of materials, and how to avoid imposing contemporary views on the interpretation of historical materials. The symposium led to the realisation that materials and media connect us to the people that produced and circulated them and vice versa. Keynote speakers Peter Kornicki and Yutaka Yabuta considered the pleasures and the challenges of'getting ones hands dirty1 and doing the legwork in pursuing archival research.
Despite advances in digitisation technology, the materiality of primary sources requires the researcher to interact with them directly.
We are confident that this symposium has inspired both young and experienced researchers, and encouraged the creation of new and vibrant research networks. It will place particular Emphasis on textual examples from the Genpei Josuiki, Engyobon and Kakuichi versions of the Heike texts.
She will focus on two mechanisms of representation within these texts: the symbolif role of the horse and the role or sin and karmic retribution. Using a variety of case studies, her project will investigate the interpretation of the horse as a sub-textual mechanism used to represent transfers of power and state within the diegesis. She will also consider how sin, and accusations or sin, have been used as rhetorical tools of condemnation and audience manipulation, creating deep- rooted perceptions of historical figures, which are echoed in later historical narratives and which endure to tms day.
The study will be supplemented with segments she has translated from the Genpei Josuiki text, and with detailed examination and analysis of contemporary scholarly views in both English and Japanese. I hope to build on this opportunity in ordfr pursue a career in academia. It provides an overview of how Japan views China through its visual media, offers explanations as to how oppositions between the two countries came to exist, and how and why certain myths about China have been conveyed.

His time at Mie also allowed him the opportunity to follow a long-standing interest in the possible historical origins of the popular and largely spurious cult of the ninja. Stephen had already contributed to the programme with a highly critical article recently published by Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, Georgia where he presented his ideas in He also joined them in analysing the relationships that existed between the Rokkaku family of Omi Province and the small independent landowners whose activities during the Sengoku Period were partly responsible for the ninja myth developing.

Such approaches, relying on seemingly straightforward causal relations, neglect to take into consideration the films themselves as well as Japanese interests in the costly undertaking. In interplay with political currents, the project became the locus of a power struggle over representational authority, and the notion of authenticity of the national image of Japan on international cinema screens emerged as a critical key to understanding the projects discursive level and as the main factor in the two directors1 failed interactions, eventually resulting in two versions of the film.
An overdue comparative textual analysis suggested the necessity to reconsider the films as creative products of a representational and aesthetic power struggle, and hence as cultural rather than purely political artefacts. The JRCs support and the feeling of obligation towards Mrs Tsudas generosity gave her a strong motivation in the rather difficult final months to finish the project. Moreover, the Tsuda lecture provided the precious possibility to present my research to the JRC and to receive valuable feedback.
She has now successfully defended my thesis, and am certain that the positive result was also due to the relative peace of mind with which she could approach the crucial final stages of writing and editing thanks to the Tsuda bursary. Translation has been used in Japanese language education for a long time, but criticised for over-focus on accuracy without lack of fluency.

The theme of Megumis research is an international comparison of gender issues in regards to agricultural labour. To date, she have taken an investigative and sociological approach toward illuminating the structure of gender issues in Japanese agriculture.
With respect to the results of the research, the experts on agriculture support in Africa have pointed out that there is the same structure of gender problems in agriculture between Japan and Africa. She believes that this study will ultimately not only benefit agriculture, but also lead to an understanding of the structure of gender issues in general labour. This holds great significance for Japan, a country which continues not to progress towards an elimination of labour inequality.
SOAS is at the forefront of Asian and African studies, therefore she is convinced that she can gain more knowledge and academic inspiration during my stay. That was highly suggestive content. Because she was born into a small farm family in Japan, and she experienced class changing. It was very difficult for her to be an academic researcher. Therefore she would like to write down her experience referencing her book. During her stay in SOAS Kazuyo would like to read books, collect necessary materials, discuss her research with academic researchers and activists, and attend many seminars.
She is very glad that she is allowed to use the wonderful SOAS Library as it has been very useful for her research. She plans to join seminars on gender issues and LGBT study. She hopes to enjoy the opportunity to talk about these issues with other academics! For example, how to recognize future labour force from the discussion of whether to remain within the EU and around what issues unionists and activists organise strikes or campaigns.
She is grateful to SOAS and the Japan Research Centre for providing her with a stimulating research environment with access to the excellent SOAS Library and other University of London libraries, and a variety of seminars led by specialists of each field, that inspired and enabled me to continue working on my projects in the field of early-modern Japanese art history.
A focus will be the substantial number of paintings and prints in the British Museum. She hopes that SOAS will continue to be a research partner next door and look forward to collaborating in future research projects.
The remainder of the funding was targeted at supporting the on-going running costs and academic activities of the JRC, and in particular sponsoring the Tsuda Lecture programme. Our donors have a profound effect on the work of SOAS, none more so than those who support scholarships and bursaries at the School.

Through the Kayoko Tsuda Bursaries we have been able to ensure that the most promising candidates are able to make the most of the unique educational opportunities SOAS provides, regardless of their income, status or family background. The award has created a valuable educational opportunity for Japan-focussed scholars, while enriching the scholarly and academic community focussed on this diverse and expansive topic for the benefit of all at SOAS, the JRC, and the global academic community working on Japan.
The impact the funding has had on Japanese studies is far reaching. It attempted to put Mishimas treatment of desire in context, by comparing his fiction to other contemporary discussions of desire in fiction and non-fiction including journalism and medical writing. It differed from previous research in the prominence it gives to Mishimas treatment of desire and in its attention to his popular fiction, which generally receives little critical attention.
The generosity of the Tsuda bursary also allowed her to visit many universities around the UK and present my research at workshops and conferences for young scholars. In January I co-organised a workshop at the University of Leeds, presenting my research and participating in round table discussions on theory in Japanese studies.
Such experiences encouraged Jennifer to situate her research productively in the wider field of Japanese studies, and allowed her to meet many researchers who gave invaluable advice and created further opportunities. The Tsuda Bursary proved a great incentive to the completion of her work in view of the final viva. The fund was an important asset that greatly helped in the process of analysing the bulk of findings and data collected in Japan, and in drawing the various theoretical strands of the thesis into an original approach to the topic of organ donation and transplants.
Much of the Western scholarship on kabuki had focussed on the actor, and the contributions of playwrights to the construction of kabuki, but Alan considered that playwrights had an equally important part to play. His interest in traditional Japanese theatre itself had been sparked by the classes he took with Professor Andrew Gerstle in the final year of his undergraduate degree at SOAS in the mid-nineties.
She could devote her time entirely to the last chapter of her research and then to the final writing of the whole thesis. Thanks to the award, she could dedicate time to research in the most effective manner, while not worrying about her financial situation.
The topic of her research was the study of the discourse on suicide patterns in post-war Japan. Most existing research, despite a variety of theoretical approaches, has analysed suicide largely as an unchanging expression of traditional Japanese values. By contrast, Francesca highlighted the changing relationship between the presentation of suicide, or the act of suicide, and the representation of suicide in the media and other sources, unveiling the conditions under which the historical appearance of suicide is formed, reinterpreted and reinvented.
Finally, she explored the recent growth of suicide manuals, websites, and chat rooms, in order to understand the extent to which this contributes both to new patterns and recurrent anxiety.
Her interest in this topic grew out of her experience as a Japanese teacher and a professional translator. Tsuda Kayoko Bursary enabled her to focus on her research throughout the year without being troubled by financial concerns. Thanks to the Bursary, she was able to cover tuition fees, living costs, and travel costs for attending and presenting her work at various conferences. Moreover, the Tsuda lecture provided the possibility to present her research to the JRC and to receive valuable feedback.
The first was an extended discussion of Soto Zen Dharma transmission rituals. The second presented a historical and textual overview of Soto Zen koan traditions. He also formulated a theoretical approach to the interpretation of koan. This approach treats them as fully linguistic artefacts and analyses their function in terms of performative and metaphorical modes of discourse.
In addition to completing his PhD, Kigensan also had the opportunity to present research at a number of international workshops held at SOAS. Thanks to the Tsuda Bursary, she was able to work on two crucial chapters of her thesis and complete the final draft of her research in The Bursary also allowed her to concentrate fully on the writing-up during , and relieving her from financial worries. She is thankful to her benefactor for their kind generosity, and to the JRC committee, for giving her the possibility.
The bursary provided a massive incentive to take the work over the finishing line, and an important and welcome opportunity - the Kayoko Tsuda Bursary lecture - to share some of the more radical aspects of the research with the SOAS community. It also gave Jenny the latitude to draw the various strands of her thesis into a cogent whole, to chase down difficult readings and obscure references in the images that had been parked and could so easily have been left to drift.
This proved a huge asset in the final positioning of her argument. There are over 1, Japanese language periodicals, some western language periodicals, and over audio-visual materials for teaching and research in Japanese studies; the online catalogue is available at: library.
The donation includes several titles not held by any UK libraries, such as Kindai Nihon sensoshi in 4 vols. External members are welcome to use these databases in the Library. The Library includes an extensive collection of pre-modern texts and prints including some woodblock print books and over prints, and some Japanese manuscripts are held in the Archive section; details are found in Japanese Books in the SOAS Library Chibbett.
Fujiko Kobayashi fk2 soas. The aim of this project is to look at a the ways the brain is understood as encultured in the context of Japanese brain science and b the ways in which this knowledge is disseminated and put to political use by the mass media. The popular genre of variety infotainment in Japan has led to the emergence of a series of Geino "scientists" such as Dr. Nakano Nobuko who peddle a very simplified and often nationalised version of scientific discourse, in which cultural difference between the Japanese and the rest of the world is located in the brain.
We were able to collect and analyse data from our BA Japanese student participants prior to their period of study abroad. We have collected further data during their year abroad in January and in June this year and are currently in the process of collecting their post-year-abroad data. We are now seeking support to hire English-Japanese bilingual assistants for the transcription of year-abroad and post-year-abroad data.
The transcription of data in the programme called ELAN, specifically developed to analyze multi-modal language data, is a prerequisite for the subsequent data coding and analyses, which need to draw systematically from the whole of the data set, now comprising of hundreds of hours from three data sessions per participant.
Funds may be used for personal research, conferences, etc, or to purchase research-level books for the SOAS Library. Group projects are acceptable, but should be submitted in the name of one representative individual.
Awards will be assessed according to their importance for Japanese studies, as interpreted by the Steering Committee of the JRC. The Committee, together with the approval of Meiji Jingu, will decide who the successful applicant will be.
