Introducing the two new Daiwa Scholars in Japanese Studies

Two Daiwa Scholars in Japanese Studies have been selected in the programme’s ninth year.

Announcing the new Daiwa Scholars, Jason James, Director General of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, said:

“One of our two new Scholars will be looking at the continuing important debate over Japan’s constitution – both how to interpret it and whether to revise it. The other is focussing on one of Japan’s leading 20th century literary figures, Kōbō Abe. Both of the Scholars impressed the interview panel with well thought-through explanations in both English and Japanese of their research interests.”
