Just came across this article “Female-bashing in 1900s Japan: The Insults on Shimoda Utako and Female students” by Koyama Shizuko (article in Japanese) that is definitely worth a read. https://t.co/lwMPWdK03L

@_shiawase_ This is an example of a funded research project that has seen been taken up by others. I thought that might be the case. This one, for example. https://t.co/8WdcOd7dJW
@kotoannep thought about you this morning when I was listening to recordings through NDL’s rekion collection. Miyagi Michio performing a Yosano Akiko poem. https://t.co/QJPj39otrS
And a quick search of the book found it in NDL Digital Library. Now I can read the article, see other articles relating to that one, and finally go read the primary source. https://t.co/LKBwfagwM8

@dambaras @astanley711 @hannahjshepherd @DexterFergie I haven't read it, but I wanted to flex my librarian muscles and came up with this article for Dexter's consideration. https://t.co/nq0d7g0jsL
Helping an alum with some research and came across this article on the number of Japanese bookstores in Karafuto. This is the reason I love 大学紀要 even though the quality varies so much. So happy that they are mostly in institutional repositories now. https://t.co/rPU0pFmr9F
Sometimes I read abstracts for scholarly papers and wish they were written in less academic English, but this looks interesting. "Playing with Pain:The Politics of Asobigokoro in Enzai Falsely Accused

Looking forward to reading this Japanese library science master's thesis on the BL reader community by Matsuzaki Megumi. BL書籍を読みつづける理由 : 読者がもつセクシュアリティ観に着目して https://t.co/A7NpY9isi9
@leotranslations Is your supervisor a Japan person? Because if not, your supervisor may not know that in these areas English language scholarship on Japan is ahead of Japanese language scholarship (from the perspective of a Japanese studies librarian) https://t.co/3IV8WWccSm
