SHORT MESSAGE:
I am delighted to have been invited to speak at the first International Symposium on Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures and very much look forward to learning more about the situation of the Digital Humanities in Japan. As Co-Chair of centerNet, I hope to facilitate collaborations between Japanese digital humanists and those in North America and Europe.
