Introduction

Bringing together domestic and
foreign researchers to chart a new course
in Japanese studies.

Hiroaki AdachiCenter Director

It is my distinct pleasure to assume the post of Center Director from October 1st, 2024. It has already been one year since the Center’s inception, and organizational work continues to progress as we welcome our new full-time and cross-appointed faculty members.

At our Center, we have maintained a focus on broad-based interdisciplinary research while striving to deepen the basic fields representative of Japanese Studies, particularly those focused on Japanese society, politics, economy, history, culture, and language. By doing so, we establish a position for Japanese studies that finds universal significance throughout the world for Japan’s uniqueness and create new value for the field. It is our objective to create an ‘integrated Japanese studies’ by incorporating two types of ‘integration’: one bringing together different research methodologies, and one integrating a humanities- and social sciences-based approach with data-driven science.
