The Japan Foundation > Japanese Studies and Intellectual Exchange

Report on the Japan-Europe Intellectual Exchanges in Alsace:
A collection of papers “Japanese Studies Seminar on Edo” is published
Centre Europeen d'Etudes Japonsaises d'Alsace (CEEJA) is housed in the building that was formerly used as the student dormitory of Seijo Gakuen High School in Alsace, which is surrounded by vineyards on three sides, a place of scenic beauty where the mountain range in Alsace can be enjoyed. In such an ideal atmosphere, the Japan Foundation and CEEJA co-organized “Japanese Studies Seminar on Edo” in 2008 and 2009. Professor Yuko Tanaka of Hosei University was invited to be the lecturer at the seminar, and up and coming European researchers came together to present papers and exchange ideas.
