Dear friends and colleagues,

Following the successful series of NIJL/EAJRS Kuzushiji workshops held in Oxford, Leuven, Zurich, Bonn, and Paris respectively, we are now planning to hold a second Oxford workshop at intermediate level, using歴史資料 as texts. The workshop will be led by Prof Yuichiro Imanishi (Director of the National Institute of Japanese Studies), supported by Prof Koichi Watanabe (NIJL,日本近世史、アーカイブス学専門). This is a preliminary call for participation for those interested. Please make a note in your diary.

Date: 24th - 26th March 2014

Dear Friends and Colleagues, members of EAJRS,

Dear Friends and Colleagues, members of EAJRS,

I hope you have started the New Year in good spirit and good health. North Western Europe has been visited upon by an exceptionally hard winter, and it seems that General Winter (fuyu shôgun) still goes on renewing his offensives unabated. I am writing this message in the midst of a snow-covered landscape, which is nice if one can stay at home, but which quickly loses its charms on the road to work. We hope that spring will not tarry too long, and in the meantime we send you our best greetings in anticipation.

Dear Friends and Colleagues, members of EAJRS,

Those of you who have accessed the website of the EAJRS may have been wondering whether we had gone on a strike since last year's conference in Lisbon, but rest assured, although we have failed to send out our customary New Year's wishes, we are in no mood to go on strike and take the imminent advent of spring as the opportunity to start afresh.
