The symposium started with welcome words from Prof. Andrew Gordon, Director of the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies, Harvard University. The morning session was to introduce our Center's research and educational activities, which was done by four leaders of the five research groups and myself.
After lunch, three panel sessions were held. The first one was about "Digital Archives for Japanese Studies," for which, each of four presenter talked about his or her digital archiving project. Dr. Beth Katzoff discussed the Makino Collection on the History of East Asian Film, C.V. Starr East Asian Library, Columbia University. She elucidated the current situation and challenges of the Collection and drew the audience's attention to the issues of film-related copy rights. Now the Center's visiting scholar, Dr. Atsuko Oya, when she was a Ph. D. candidate, participated in the Collection's archival project by utilizing the ITP Program. The second presenter was Dr. Sarah Thompson, Assistant Curator, Japanese Prints, Art of Asia, Oceania, and Africa, MFA, Boston, which is our Center's partner organization for the ITP Program. She discussed the future of the six-year archiving project of the museum's ukiyo-e collection, one of the biggest in the world. Prof. Andrew Gordon introduced the Digital Archive of Japan's 2011 Disasters project, an initiative of the Institute. This massive project started right after the earthquake to archive as much of the digital record of the disasters as possible. He discussed how to retain born-digital information as historical research material. Prof. Akama suggested new possibilities in Japanese studies, made possible by the synergy of various archives. Archiving contents in various media, including born-digital ones, the four presenters shared their concerns about the archive's copy right issues.
The second session in the afternoon was about Collaboration in Historical GIS. Prof. Tomoki Nakaya explained his project of "Mapping Historical Geospatial Information of Kyoto." Then, Prof. Yano discussed "The Next Challenge of Virtual Kyoto." The Director of the Center for Geographic Analysis Institute for Quantitative Social Science, Harvard University, Prof. Peter Bol discussed accumulation of historical maps as the infrastructure of historical geographic information, and what kinds of academic findings can be expected from the accumulation. After the panel's presentations, the panelists got more than a few questions about applicability of the Virtual Kyoto, and details of how the machiya survey was conducted.
The last session of the day was about the Future Use of Multimedia Environments for Japanese Studies. Prof. Shigeru Miyagawa of MIT discussed university classes in the near future with an example of the Open Course Ware (OCW), free online course materials, and how the OCW uses databases of visual materials from Japan and overseas. The Executive Director of the North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources, Victoria Lyon Bestor introduced its site of the "Japanese Digital Resources," a directory of digital resources vendors and agents in Japan to support Japanese Studies overseas. A Japanese Studies librarian of the Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard University, Kuniko Yamada McVey discussed the DH and Japanese Studies, referring to the Digital Humanities Manifesto 2.0. The last presentation of the day was given by Prof. Kozaburo Hachimura, who discussed how to reproduce the experience of the Yamahoko Parade with the five senses. That means not only the visual reproduction, including extremely high-resolution one, but also the ones through the other senses. He demonstrated the Virtual Yamahoko Parade of Gion Festival, a part of the Digital Museum Project. As the presenters in this session addressed many possible ways of DH research, the audience asked questions about the knowledge that was not based on the conventional print media, and how to acquire such knowledge.
Prof. Andrew Gordon wrapped up the symposium by mentioning that he was looking forward to future conversations and projects with us.

In order to share information on hangi (printing blocks) as part of the joint research by the Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures under the MEXT Global COE Program (Ritsumeikan University) Japanese Culture Research Group and Professor Kazuaki Nagai from the Faculty of Letters at Nara University, we have been building a digital archive of about 5,000 hangi kept at Nara University and made the archive available for access. In addition, these hangi were exhibited at the “Kinsei Hangi” (printing blocks of the modern period) exhibition (February to March 2009), and we have continued questioning what hangi are and what we can find out from hangi.
The current exhibition is the sequel of the “Kinsei Hangi” exhibition. By continuing the questioning from the last exhibition, the exhibition will showcase an expanded number of collections researched by the Japanese Culture Research Group. While many hangi have been lost over the years until today, many others that can contribute to the study of Japanese culture in terms of quality and quantity have also been preserved until today through the efforts by the many involved in the preservation of hangi. It is our sincere hope that hangi as a research material can become exposed so that more people can learn about existing hangi through this exhibition.
In addition, this exhibition will also showcase the hangi once collected by surishi (woodblock printer) Shinjiro Takahashi and which have become part of the Art Research Center collection this year.

Symposium
<Gaichi> Bungaku-e-no Shatei
( PDF: 2.1MB) |
Images of “gaichi”—foreign colonies or territories once owned by Japan—have been created in various forms of media, such as newspapers, magazines and travel guides. Meanwhile, this formation of the image of gaichi has become the foreground in relation to the “naichi”—the cultural and political center—and within the reciprocating of the center and peripheral images lies the strength of Japan’s colonial system.
This symposium will summarize the past 5 years of the Ritsumeikan University Global COE activities and examine the possibilities of gaichi literature research. Besides the presently scheduled publication of “Gaichi Bungaku-e-no Shatei”, a collection of theses centering on Kazunobu Kimura who is responsible for research activities, this symposium will also discuss the scope of methodology within gaichi literature research.
The aim of this symposium is to access the materials collected and processed into a database at the Ritsumeikan University’s Art Research Center to consider the images of Japan and Korea in Korea under Japanese rule. While the Kyeongseong Ilbo newspaper is believed to have been mainly read by Japanese people living in Korea during Japanese rule, from the articles we can get a glimpse of the dilemma concerning what sort of intermediate stance these Japanese were supposed to take. The symposium will also examine problems regarding Japanese translations of modern Korean literature. By finding out what kind of dynamics were at work in terms of the translation of texts, we may be able to see the arbitrariness of the image of Korea.

With the rapid developments in digital and information environments these days, many cross-disciplinary academic researches have also been conducted with “information” and “digital” aspects in mind. This trend has even become more prominent within tertiary education and research activities, giving rise to educational programs or courses and faculties related to the information and digital fields.
There is an increasing demand for opportunities where academic exchanges can be made between graduate students and young researchers through such curricula that provide new research topics in line with the present time.
Thus the Symposium on Knowledge, Art and Cultural Informatics was created in order to provide a place for presentations and exchanges, targeting mainly at young researchers interested in research on information or knowledge related to art, culture and other aspects. This symposium aims to provide an opportunity where participants from various disciplines can discover new research topics and methodologies through making exchanges with each other. We hope it will allow researchers to give developing and endeavoring presentations somewhat different from conventional academic conferences.

]]>
This symposium follows the International Symposium “The Past, Present, and Future of Cultural Assets: the Significance of Digital and Analog Co-existence” held in April 2010. While the previous symposium focused on the people engaging in the protection and inheriting of cultural assets, the symposium this time will look at the things that are related to cultural assets. One of the issues pointed out in the last symposium was the difficulty of preserving cultural assets, because materials required to achieve that are disappearing, despite the availability of technology to inherit such assets. The symposium this time aims to shed light on the current situation surrounding things that sustain the survival of cultural assets and consider ways of preserving such things into the future.
In order to preserve things, not only do we need to think about how to do it, we also need to consider ways of preserving memories of the things. The digital archiving and database making of Japanese cultural assets being implemented by the Center are a way of preserving the memory of things. The symposium will attempt to induce discussions among people involved with various fields of cultural asset protection and inheriting as seen from the viewpoints of art museums, museums, universities, administrations, onsite preservation efforts and so forth, while examining the possibilities of passing memories of things long into the future.
