The Research
Department is made up of scholars undertaking international,
interdisciplinary, and comprehensive research on Japanese culture.
The department has both permanent and visiting faculty members.
Permanent faculty include professors, associate professors, and
research associates, who are responsible for organizing Team
Research Projects and other research activities at the Center.
The visiting faculty includes visiting professors, visiting associate
professors, and visiting research fellows. Visiting faculty participate
in and, in some cases, lead Team Research Projects as specialists
in areas not covered by the faculty. Scholars from both within
Japan and abroad are eligible to become permanent and visiting
faculty.
