It wasn't enough that he left us a wealth of outstanding work of his own to seed future scholarship, y'all. He wanted to fund yours too. Bless his soul. Please apply!

Just noticed that Nichibunken's open access collection has a full text OA copy of book "Gender and Modernity: Rereading Japanese Women's Magazines" (152MB) nichibun.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/6419 - individual chapters can also be downloaded. Guess I don't need to wait for that inter-library loan.

Time filies. I felt the oppsoite twenty plus years ago and encouraged myself to go broad beyond the border. I couldn't even imagine a discourse like this would emerge. That's why I find the country and its history interesting!
For those who read Japanese and have ever rolled their eyes at one of the innumerable TV shows where a foreigner is used to tell Japanese people how sugoi!! Nippon is, I wholeheartedly recommend this cathartic book by @hayakawa2601.bsky.social . It's not only incisive but often laugh-out-loud funny.

I'm pleased to share that I will stay as a visiting scholar in Nichibunken/日文研 during the calendar year of 2027. I will join the research group, "Island Japan," led by Prof. Ted Boyle and work on my project on mobilities between Japan and Cold War Asia.
