（Japanese）

The “Materials Workshop” is a continuing workshop series, held multiple times per year, under the joint sponsorship of the National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL) and the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies (IUC). Its purpose is to orient and instruct interested participants in the use, handling, and research application of primary-source Japanese documents. We welcome in particular the participation of students and early-career researchers. In FY 2023, two sessions in total will be held, in November (Session IX) and in February (Session X).

Overview
Each 2-hour workshop focuses on a different category of document (scrolls, manuscripts, emaki, hanpon, etc.), to be discussed by a field expert in its research use, according to the following schedule:

First Half: Orientation (1 hour) *Note: Hybrid-format (in-person & streamed via zoom)
The first hour involves a presentation by the lecturer, combining general explanation about the type of document, how to handle it, etc., with concrete illustration through specific examples.

Second Half: Open Floor (1 hour) *Note: In-person only
The second hour moves to a more open format under the lecturer’s guidance, allowing participants to engage hands-on with a variety of texts representing the genre, asking questions freely.
