As part of a multi-year collaborative project with the University of Tokyo’s Historiographical Institute to study the remarkable collection of pre-modern historical documents assembled at Yale by Professor Asakawa Kan’ichi in the first half of the 20th century, we are pleased to announce a special symposium to be held at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library from 10-12pm on Friday, October 5, 2012. In addition to two brief presentations by scholars working on different aspects of Japanese special collections at Yale, members of a team of researchers from the Historiographical Institute, led by Professors Ebara Masaharu and Kondo Shigekazu, will speak about their work and recent findings in Yale’s pre-modern document collections.
