Japan Review - Early Access Articles

[Edward Boyle]

Hello All,

Three new Early Access articles are now out from Japan Review, with Ariel Stilerman's incisive analysis of depictions of laboring bodies in Medieval scrolls likely to be of particular interest to this group. 

Ariel Stilerman, The Portrayal of Work in Early Medieval Illustrated Scrolls

Nathan Hopson, A Successfail Experiment: Gunma’s 1932–1933 Rural Community Nutritional Improvement Project

Daniel Milne and David Moreton, Between Foe and Friend: The Commemoration of Nikkei Veterans from Hawai‘i at Kyoto’s Ryōzen Kannon

Together with the rest of our content, they are available Open Access through our new website (https://japanreview.jp/), as well as via J-Stage and the Nichibunken Repository.

Enjoy!

Dear Colleagues— 

Following up on Ted's kind announcement last week of my article in Japan Review on the portrayal of woodworking in medieval scrolls, I would like to share a companion piece.

This short essay, published in the Stanford Humanities Review, explores the research process behind the project. It describes, for example, the building and testing of working replicas of medieval saws, and how this experience shaped the article.

Yours,

—Ariel
