Dear Colleagues,
The British Association for Japanese Studies (Japan
Branch) will be holding a Mini Conference at Hokkaido University on the weekend of 3-4 November 2012. This is a small-scale conference (maximum of 24 papers). It aims to provide a space for relaxed but stimulating discussion on any topic related to Japanese Studies in the convivial surroundings of Hokkaido University campus, which should be ablaze with autumn colours that weekend.

I am putting out a general call for papers in the anticipation that there will be a few spare places in the lineup. Any colleagues who are interested in joining the event in Sapporo that weekend, please do get in touch.

Details of the mini-conference will be added to the following webpage as the event takes shape.

Warmest regards from Sapporo,
