Tokyo University of the Arts (TUA) is pleased to announce the 10th
International Workshop on Japanese Art History for Graduate Students
(JAWS). Aiming at international exchanges between emerging scholars\,
JAWS was inaugurated in 1987 at the University of Tokyo\, and\,
thereafter\, was held elsewhere in Japan\, US\, and UK. The total number
of JAWS participants has risen to 242. Many of them now assume leading
roles in the field of Japanese art\, as scholar\, curator\, or teacher.
As such\, JAWS connects different generations of people active in
various places in the world who are engaged in the history of Japanese
art.
The 10th JAWS will be held on August 16-26\, 2012\, at the main campus
of Tokyo University of the Arts\, in Tokyo\, and at TUA’s Institute of
Ancient Art Research\, in Nara. The workshop will include paper
presentations in Japanese by participants and fieldtrips to various
museums and temples.

postgraduate students who specialize in the history of Japanese art
and who are registered at a university in Japan\, North America\, Asia\,
or Europe are eligible. Please note that\, in order to invite
participants from diverse institutions\, we accept only one application
