Since its inauguration, the Research Center for International Japanese Studies has organized a number of symposiums and workshops. Our aim for the workshop is to explore the characteristics of Japan from multiple perspectives through collaboration with scholars across the world. The overall topics including, but not limited to; Japanese studies in the world, cultural and structural comparison with Japan and other countries, Japan’s interactions and transnational relations with the world (especially Europe and other East Asian countries), and cultural diversity in Japan, from past to present.
