There will be a hybrid book launch event at Blackfriars Hall to celebrate the release of Japan in the Early Modern World: Religion, Translation, and Transnational Relations, co-edited by Dr Pia Joliffe, Prof. Yoshimi Orii and Prof. Katja Triplett and hosted by Dr Alessandro Bianchi (former Head of the Bodleian Japanese Library). There will be a brief introduction to the book and a short panel discussion with the volume’s editors and authors over drinks and nibbles. All are welcome!
