With the establishment of the International Joint Digital Archiving Center for Japanese Art and Culture (ARC-iJAC) in 2019, the Art Research Center strives to push the internationalization of research activities that transcend disciplines and geographic boundaries.NEWS
We were delighted to welcome Prof. Simon Kaner, Executive Director of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (SISJAC), and his team to the ARC.
Furthermore, a group of faculty members and students of Korea University, led by Prof. Byeong-Ho Jeong (Department of Japanese Language and Literature, College of Liberal Arts, Korea University), visited the ARC.
In this interview, Dr. Yano shares how she first connected with the ARC while she was a visiting PhD student at SOAS in the 2000s, her personal favorites within the Japanese Collection at the BM, and the UKRI-JSPS funded international joint research project with the ARC,"Creative Collaborations: Salons and Networks in Kyoto and Osaka 1780-1880." >> Read more. → ARC Virtual Institute: Salons and Networks in Kyoto and Osaka:

The Kaigetsu Shooku Private Collection contains not only typical Kabuki picture postcards, but also picture postcards with illustrations of actors' faces, actors from smaller (koshibai) theatres, the fukuro wrappers that picture postcards or bromides were originally sold in, and other materials. >> Read more.

Roughly 1,200 items of digitized audio from roughly 600 78rpm Kabuki records in the collection of Onishi Hidenori have been made available to listen to online.While these 78rpm "standard playing" (SP) records, capturing the unamplified natural voices of Kabuki actors of the late 19th to early 20th centuries, are extremely valuable resources for Kabuki research, institutions holding such records in their collections are limited and have not been widely accessible until now.
Roughly 650 such Kabuki SP records have been identified as having been produced between 1907 and 1955. Of those, approximately 85% are included in this digitized collection. >> Read more.
