David Pearsall Dutcher

Jos Vos <josm...@hotmail.com>: Sep 09 09:37AM Dear All,   Does anyone have contact details for David Pearsall Dutcher? Apparently he translated all of Sagoromo monogatari, but his work was never published, although you can find an excerpt here:   Sagoromo, Co-Winner 2014 Kyoko Selden Memorial Translation Prize - Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus<https://apjjf.org/2016/19/dutcher>     With kind regards,   Jos Vos (translator Japanese to Dutch)

Reminder: Online event with Thomas Conlan (Princeton) and Mimi Yiengpruksawan (Yale) on "Kinkakuji and Kitayama" this Thursday, Sept. 10

Nick Kapur <nick...@gmail.com>: Sep 08 06:00PM -0400 Hi everyone,   As a reminder, the following event featuring Professor Thomas Conlan (Princeton) on his recent book *Kinkakuji and Kitayama: Space, Place, Monuments and Memory in Japan 1222-1994 *(Brill, 2025) in conversation with Professor Mimi Yiengpruksawan (Yale) will be held this Thursday, September 10 (September 11 in Japan). Zoom registration link is below.       *Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 7:00-8:30 PM ETFriday, September 11, 2026 | 8:00-9:30 AM JST*   *REGISTER FOR ZOOM <https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/hhxyLUchTnmJnJibGzBvPg>*     *Kinkakuji and Kitayama: Space, Place, Monuments and Memory in Japan 1222-1994 <https://brill.com/display/title/61856>* (Brill, 2025)   Presenter: *Thomas Conlan <https://eas.princeton.edu/people/thomas-conlan>*, Professor of East Asian Studies and History, Princeton University   Discussant: *Mimi Yiengpruksawan <https://arthistory.yale.edu/people/mimi-yiengpruksawan>*, Professor of Art History, Yale University   The *Modern Japan History Association <https://mjha.org/mjha.org>* invites the wider community to a conversation with Thomas Conlan <https://eas.princeton.edu/people/thomas-conlan> (Princeton), who will be speaking about his recent book *Kinkakuji and Kitayama: Space, Place, Monuments and Memory in Japan 1222-1994* <https://brill.com/display/title/61856>. This work adopts a typology of intentional monuments, historical monuments, ancient monuments, and timeless monuments to describe how Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion, was created, preserved, destroyed, and rebuilt. It reveals how Ashikaga Yoshimitsu built Kinkakuji as a monument to glorify his rule. Later, Kinkakuji became a mortuary temple and historical monument, commemorating the Ashikaga, before becoming an ancient monument that was valued for being old. It then became a National Treasure of Japan. After it was destroyed in 1950, Kinkakuji was built as a timeless monument. In the process, Kinkakuji’s reconstruction influenced how UNESCO authorities defined “original” monuments.
