Hello, Japan scholars. I have been a librarian for the Japanese Collection at the Harvard-Yenching Library for five and a half years. I was a librarian at the Documantation Center on Contemporary Japan (DCJ) at Harvard for ten years before coming to Yenching. Before working at the DCJ and before a short interval of two years as a bookbinding student in Boston, I worked at the Museum of Modern Japanese Literature \u65e5\u672c\u8fd1\u4ee3\u6587\u5b66\u9928<\/a> in Tokyo for seven years. I guess some of you guys were born at a time when I was putting up literay exhibitions in Japan. <\/p>\n

I encountered following phrase “Shall I at least set my land in order?” by T.S. Eliot while writing my senior thesis at ICU. I liked it and adapted as my motto. In the following year I entered the world of libraries and have resided there for most of the time since. Now I feel we librarians can no longer stay in this orderly world and need to explore this rich and chaotic information universe both physical and virtual. Being one of the “Librarians without borders” is my goal now. I hope I can learn a lot from you at the same time I offer something useful to you for your research.<\/p>\n

FYI: I recently discovered the “Kanban jissoku Nihon chizu” (\u5b98\u677f\u5b9f\u6e2c\u65e5\u672c\u5730\u56f3)\u3000printed in the Bakumatsu period, based on Ino-zu, in our library’s basement. Although our copy is missing one (Ezo) of four sheets that cover all Japan, including Ryukyu and Karahuto,
\nthey are beautiful. If you are interested in taking a look, let me know. They are not cataloged in the collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
