    We are pleased to announce that we are preparing to hold the NIJL/EAJRS Kuzushiji Workshop in online format in the spring of 2021. As this Workshop series has never been held in online, we are having rigorous discussion with NIJL to be able to deliver the most effective means of the workshop in these pandemic circumstances. Detailed information such as the schedule, contents, and method of the workshop will be notified when we reach a final decision by early 2021.
