International Exchange

Japanese literature is a field of study pursued throughout the world. An important challenge facing Japanese literary research today is learning to perceive Japanese literature from a variety of different research viewpoints and methods. Based on such an awareness, NIJL has established the International Collaboration Division to revitalize activities of international exchange. As part of this, we have actively engaged in a number of activities in Japan and overseas, such as the hosting of various symposia, seminars, and conferences devoted to research on premodern Japanese texts.
