Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to achieve our stated goals of promoting interdisciplinary scholarship and fostering ties between different generations of scholars, over the last five years we have held eight workshops in Japan and four workshops in oversea countries. We have invited over 70 speakers from relevant disciplines, one third of whom were at the age of 40 or younger. Moreover, we have published a survey of Japanese Buddhism, Nihon bukkyo no tenkai (Ed. Okubo Ryoshun. Shunjusha Publishing Company). The book contains extensive summaries for each chapter in English and caters to a wide audience, ranging from the interested public to specialized researchers.
