What’s in this issue Recent happenings UEA in Japan Forthcoming events and opportunities Dates for the diary People
Welcome Message Welcome to the autumn edition of the CJS e-newsletter! It is hard to believe that the summer vacation period has been and gone. While students have been away from campus over the summer months, we have been very busy. Once again, we ran our two summer programmes: Japan Orientation summer school and the Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship. Summer is also a busy time for conferences, with UEA delegations at a number of conferences, symposia and workshops in the UK and further afield. All these will be discussed in more detail below. Please take your time to read through the various news and announcements, and make a note of key dates in your diary. Do also send the newsletter on to anyone you think would be interested. Developments at the Centre for Japanese Studies At the end of August we bade farewell to Jennifer Coates, Senior Lecture in Japanese Arts, Cultures and Heritage at the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Culture (SISJAC). Jennifer has taken up a senior lectureship at the University of Sheffield. We also said good-bye to our Project Officer, Christopher Hayes, who will be taking up a six month fellowship at the Kyoto Institute, Library and Archives. He will be researching the impact of the Rugby World Cup on tourism in the Kyoto region. We wish both Jennifer and Chris the best of luck for the future. While we are losing two members of staff, we are also seeing expansion of Japanese Studies at the UEA through the recent announcement of a new lecturing post in Japanese Literature. This post is available from January 2020 and the successful candidate will contribute to the new MA Interdisciplinary Japanese Studies that we are launching next year. This position was made possible by the Japan Foundation’s staff expansion scheme, and is indicative of an exciting time for the UEA: in 2020 we will take on new Japanese Studies staff, we will launch our new MA programme, and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts will host a major Japanrelated exhibition (more on that in a future newsletter!).

The grant will be used for promoting Japanese language and culture in the region, in particular for young students who usually do not have the opportunity to be exposed to different cultures. Yakult Award Ellie D'Cruze who received BA Translation and Interpreting with Modern Languages (Double Honours) this summer was awarded this year's Yakult Award. The Yakult Award was established in 2015 with the generosity of Yakult UK who sponsored the creation of the first full Lectureship in Japanese at UEA in 2011, and who currently support the Sainsbury Institute Third Thursday Lectures. Mr Hiroaki Yoshimura, Yakult UK Managing Director and Professor Simon Kaner, SISJAC Executive Director attended the graduation ceremony to congratulate Ellie on her success. Ellie is the first Yakult Award winner to have achieved a double honours degree (French and Japanese)! JET Programme Success Lucy Atkins and Emma Boon who graduated with the Japanese language degree this summer successfully gained a position on the JET Programme and started their new life in Japan (Osaka and Kochi). Congratulations and good luck! Discover Japan Day for local primary and secondary school pupils 17th & 18th June 2019 Another successful Discover Japan Day event was held on 17 & 18 June 2019. The event was organised by Mika Brown in the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies together with the Outreach Office as a part of the Japan Foundation Sakura Network project. Around 200 primary and secondary school pupils attended the event to experience Origami, Calligraphy, Omen mask making, Taiko drums playing, Japanese language learning etc. These sessions were run by our own final year Japanese degree students and students who studied about Japan at the UEA together with the 19 super efficient student ambassadors. 2
Travelling Workshop in Korea and Japan June 2019 In preparation for a major exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in summer 2020 presenting the story of early Buddhism in Japan and its introduction from Korea in the context of Silk Road exchanges, Simon Kaner led a travelling workshop to Korea and Japan in June, sponsored by the Toshiba International Foundation. Along with Professor Katy Cubitt of the School of History we visited exhibition partners, museums and sites in Korea and Japan. A full report is available at www.sainsbury-institute.org/naratonorvic. The project is inspired by the exceptional Buddhist objects in the Sainsbury collections, and we were delighted to welcome colleagues from the Nara National Museum to the Ryusuke Yamaguchi and colleagues from the Nara National Sainsbury Centre in August to study them – their findings willMuseum surveyed Buddhist artworks in the Sainsbury Collection inform the development of the exhibition. in August Japan Orientation Summer School, 29th June – 13th July 2019 The Japan Orientation Summer School is a two-week long programme aimed at undergraduate students interested in Japan, but who may not have any formal background in Japanese Studies or the Japanese language. Generously funded by the Toshiba International Foundation, and now in its sixth year, this year saw 16 students attend lectures introducing them to a variety of different topics, including art, architecture, gender and contemporary visual culture. We were lucky enough to have the summer school coincide with a visit by British Ambassador to Japan, Paul Madden, who gave a talk to the students and afterwards joined us for a small reception. 11th International Convention of Asia Scholars, Leiden 16th – 19th July 2019 UEA Japanese Studies was well-represented at the International Covnention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) hosted by the International Institute for Asian Studies in Leiden, the Netherlands, in July. We used our special session to continue our exploration of research around the theme of ‘Seas of Japan’, building on an interdisciplinary research workshop in Norwich in late 2018. Participation by UEA colleagues was facilitated by support from the Sainsbury Institute and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.

Historical Perspectives on the Distribution and Adaptation of Japanese Live Action Films and Anime Overseas, Thursday 18th & Friday 19th July 2019 Led by this year’s Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellow, Dr Hiroyuki Kitaura, SISJAC hosted a two-day workshop on Japanese film and anime in the global market. Thursday kicked off with a keynote by Tadahiro Yamamoto, Assistant Professor in the Department of Manga Media at Kobe Design University on adaptation between manga and film. Friday’s day of talks centred around two main focii: adaptation and distribution. Speakers came from universities and research institutions in both the UK and Japan, and featured talks from Jennifer Coates, recently of SISJAC, and Rayna Denison, UEA. Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship, 27th July – 17th August 2019 The Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship in Japanese Arts and Cultural Heritage ran this year from the 27th July to the 18th August. Now in its second year, the programme is aimed towards doctoral candidates, early career researchers, and professionals. 22 fellows were awarded fully-funded places, generously funded by the Ishibashi Foundation. During the fellows’ time here, they attended lectures and workshops, travelled to the British Museum, where they got a behind the scenes look at the Manga Exhibition, and visited a number of Japanese collections in Cambridge, Oxford and London.

Sasakawa Postgraduate Studentship Updates We are delighted that CJS secured three further Sasakawa Postgraduate Studentships for the coming academic year, for graduates in AMA and HIS. From the 2018-19 cohort, Oscar Wrenn has won a prestigious Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Scholarship to study at Kobe University from spring 2020. We have also heard that one of our first Sasakawa Studentship holders, Stephanie Santschi (MA in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies), has just taken up a place for a 10-month intensive Japanese language programme at the Stanford Inter-University Centre in Yokohama as a Nippon Foundation Fellow. Many congratulations to both. We will be inviting a further round of applications for Sasakawa Postgraduate Studentships (each worth £10,000 towards tuition and living costs) in February 2020. UEA in Japan HUM goes to Japan In the first week of June, Eylem Atakav and a delegation of HUM faculty and PGR students travelled to Japan in order to promote Humanities a the University of East Anglia. The aims were: to offer the HUM PGR community the opportunity to present their research internationally through videos screened at institutions visited; to seek out opportunities for fellowships, collaboration on funding bids as well as working on joint articles with colleagues from Japan; to showcase HUM teaching and research; and to promote our new and existing MA courses, with particular focus on 2020’s new courses MA Interdisciplinary Japanese Studies and MA Comics Studies. 4
The trip began with a UEA Day at Nagoya University, feautring a half day symposium run by Eylem Atakav, and presentations by UEA PhD candidates. The delegation also visited the National Museum of Ethnology, Minpaku, where there was an emphasis on anthropological studies and practice-led research. Again, UEA PhD candidates presented their research, and the UEA’s resources were highlighted through screenings of films from the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA). In addition to institutions, the delegation also visited university agents to provide training on UEA courses with the hope of attracting more students from Japan! UEA at DIGRA In August Dean Bowman, James McLean and Tarnia Mears – all Students of the faculty of Film, Television and Media Studies – along with Dr Rayna Dennison, attended the prestigious Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) 2019 conference at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan with funding from both the Sasakawa Foundation and the school of Art, Media and American Studies. DiGRA is a leading conference in the growing field of game studies, attracting over 400 international scholars. The UEA cohort constructed a well-received panel focused on the franchise Kingdom Hearts, a long-running and successful collaboration between Japanese videogame developer Square-Enix and American corporate media giant Disney, which analysed the text from a variety of perspectives as a core example of transmedia storytelling, or what is often referred to in the Japanese context as the ‘media mix’ – the core theme of the conference.

In addition, and also speaking to this theme, Dean Bowman and Rayna Dennison ran a workshop designed to interrogate the links between media mix, transmedia narrative and wider franchising theories, serving the important goal of placing Japanese and Western scholars in productive dialogue with one another. The workshop included some important figures in the field including Marc Steinberg (author of Anime’s Media Mix: Franchising Toys and Characters in Japan), Bryan Hikari Hartzheim (co-editor of The Franchise Era: Managing Media in the Digital Economy), Akiko Sugawa-Shimada (Japanese scholar of fandoms and cultural tourism around Shojo manga), and Henry Jenkins (author of some key texts in modern fandom and transmedia studies including Textual Poachers and Convergence Culture). They hope to publish this work as a special journal issue in order to increase the exposure of this research. Report by Dean Bowman, doctoral candidate in Film, Television and Media Studies (AMA) UEA – Tohoku University joint conference, 14th – 15th December 5
We are excited to announce the first joint conference between UEA and Tohoku University coming up this December, taking place at Sendai. Six of our own professors will be giving presentations on ‘Aging and Maturing of Japan and the World’. Futher details will be released in due course. Dr. Kishita Naoko at Osaka University and Juntendo University Dr Kishita Naoko has been invited to deliver a lecture to staff and PhD students at Osaka University this coming December. Dr Kishita and her PhD student, Milena Contreras, will together run a small -scale PGR exchange program and Milena will give a talk to Osaka University PGR students on developing an international research career. Professor Muraoka Koko of Juntendo University visited us in September 2019 as a new collaborator with UEA. Together with Dr Kishita and Professor Mioshi Eneida, they have agreed to work on a new cross cultural research project on family carers of people with motor neurone disease and are currently preparing to carry out data collection in Japan next year.

Okinawan Art in its Regional Context: Historical Overview and Contemporary Practice 10th – 11th October 2019 The UEA will host the international conference ‘Okinawan Art in its Regional Context: Historical Overview and Contemporary Practice’. This two-day conference will address the socio-cultural complexities of Okinawan identity over the course of history, and explore the intersection between art, politics, and identity from an interdisciplinary perspective. The object of the conference and its ensuing studies is to shed light on how Okinawan arts and cultures have been shaped by internal political situations and by a triple subjugation to the United States, Japan, and China. We are delighted to confirm that Professor Junko Kobayashi, Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts will be giving the keynote speech, and Mr Teruya Yuken will give his public talk during the conference. We would like you to participate in various discussions about modern and contemporary Okinawan art, culture, and politics with other researchers. 6
In this conference, we will bring together a unique selection of scholars in art history, history, politics, sociology, and performing arts, primarily to identify historical and political processes behind art and cultural forms. We intend to undertake a collaborative project that will expand interdisciplinary research in the humanities, contributing to a growing literature that engages with the intersection between art, politics, and identity. All speakers will have undertaken case studies of Okinawan art and culture, and how it relates to changing identities and regional struggles. It is free to attend and all are welcome.

Special Report: Sensei and I
9
On August 16th I had the pleasure of showing Natsume Fusanosuke - the grandson of Japanese literary giant Natsume SĹ?seki - around Norwich. With an eerie echo to his grandfather’s famous novel Kokoro, throughout the course of the day, I came to call Natsume Fusanosuke simply by the title Sensei. We met first at The Maids Head Hotel at midday, and I saw Sensei descending the stairs. We said hello, and he asked me if it might rain. I said, yes, it probably would, so he turned around and went back upstairs for his umbrella. His grandfather, SĹ?seki, had a famously awful time living in London from 1901-3 and was terribly unhappy there. Because of this, I felt an inordinate amount of pressure to make an improvement on Anglo-Natsume relations. The weather was not a good start! The rain held off long enough for us to have a lovely lunch outside in the garden of The Britons Arms. Sensei ordered the local Cromer crab quiche, as did Hiromi-san. Matsuba-san opted for the pork pie, and I had a Scotch egg. Everyone agreed the food was a great success. We decided on tea to finish, and in true English fashion it began to rain so we moved inside.
Despite the weather, Sensei and I then took a walk around Norwich; we visited the Cathedral, the Castle, and the Market Square. We were about to get in a taxi to campus to visit the SCVA, and Sensei asked me how long it would take to walk. Without thinking, I said 40 minutes. An hour and a half later we made it to campus in the pouring rain, but Sensei just laughed and pointed out I had miscalculated based on the different length of our legs.
10
We toured the SCVA, and while having a cup of coffee, he signed my copy of his grandfather's book I Am a Cat and drew a cartoon cat inside with his fudepen (brush pen). Over the course of the afternoon, we talked
for hours about Japanese cinema, books, manga, and everything under the sun. He was a manga artist himself in the 80s and 90s, but moved on to being a manga critic and writes extensively on the art form. The day before I’d attended a very interesting lecture he had given on manga as part of the Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship. He was a charming, intelligent, and funny man, and I was so pleased to talk to him about his grandfather's life and work, and my own research on Sōseki’s writing. I was sad to say goodbye, but am hopeful he enjoyed his visit to Norwich. Since his visit, I’ve heard through the grapevine that Sensei said, ‘I think Sōseki would have liked England more had he visited Norwich.’

The book, Kotan Chronicles: Selected Poems, 1928-1943, is a collection of poetry by Sarashina Genzō, a writer and ethnographer who was based in Hokkaido, Japan’s large northern island. Through poetry, Sarashina documented his encounters with the indigenous Ainu people in the 1920s and 30s. Together with her publisher, Paul Rossiter of Isobar Press, Nadine talked about the historical context in which Sarashina wrote and the challenges of translating Japanese regional dialect into English. The theme of this year’s Hastings LitFest was “In Other Words”, which offered a fitting opportunity to introduce modern Japanese poetry to a very engaged and curious audience. Tom French, Associate Professor in the College of International Relations at Ritsumeikan University is visiting the UEA for the autumn semester, where he will be working with PPL’s Ra Mason. Doctoral candidate Nick Bradley’s debut novel The Cat and the City is due to be published 2nd April 2020 by Atlantic Books. 13
Lastly, we would like to welcome SISJAC’s two new Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellows for 2019/2020, Robert James Simpkins and Yen-Yi Chan. Robert James Simpkins is an anthropologist specialising in youth, creativity and precarity in Japan. His current focus centres upon the relationship between creative practices, irregular employment and isolation. His work also concerns issues related to urban space and contemporary music cultures. His doctoral research investigates the lives of musicians seeking a career in the music industry after arriving in Tōkyō from prefectures across Japan, the adversities they face and the readjustments they make in order to keep going. He explores how a train station forms the centre of their performing lives, and challenge common categorisations such as the division between public and private space. Yen-Yi Chan obtained her PhD from the University of Kansas, specialising in Japanese Buddhist art in the Heian and Kamakura periods. Her research focuses on the roles of religious spaces and icons in the creation of ideas, social relations, and collective memory as well as identity. At the Sainsbury Institute, she will be revising her dissertation into a book manuscript, which investigates how the architecture of the Nan’endō (Southern Round Hall) at Kōfukuji and its Buddhist images served as a mnemonic technique to construct ancestral memory, familial history, and communal identity of the Northern Fujiwara clan from the ninth through twelfth centuries. Her another project examines the reconstruction of Kōfukuji in both the medieval (12th-13th centuries) and contemporary times. This project aims to show how individuals and groups imagined the past, revived tradition, and engaged with the heritage site through the utilization of visual spaces, religious images, and mass media. She is also interested in artistic exchanges between Japan and China as well as icon worship and production in the medieval time, in particular, Song-style (sōfū) sculptures and icons of “living Buddhas (shōjin butsu).” To find out more about the fellows, visit: http://sainsbury-institute.org/fellowships/ Useful Links Embassy of Japan: http://www.uk.emb-japan.go.jp/ Japan Foundation: http://www.jpf.org.uk/ JSPS: http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/ British Association for Japanese Studies: http://www.bajs.org.uk/ Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation: http://www.dajf.org.uk/ Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation: http://www.gbsf.org.uk/ Japan Society: http://www.japansociety.org.uk/ EU-Japan Centre: http://www.eu-japan.eu/ Canon Foundation: www.canonfoundation.org Applications for JET Programme: http://www.jetprogramme.org/ Japanese Language Proficiency Exam: http://www.jlpt.jp/e/index.html UEA Japan Society: ueajapansociety@gmail.com Taiko Centre East: http://www.taikocentre.org.uk/ Career Forums: http://www.careerforum.net/event/?lang=E Contact Us If you have any contributions for the next issue of the e-newsletter, please send them to us by Friday 3rd January 2020 The CJS office is located in the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts (the mezzanine floor).
