Additionally, in conjunction with COE WEEKS, we will also be presenting a lecture on Kamigata culture, “Bunraku Puppet Play: ‘Courier from the Land of the Dead’”, and international symposia on “Capitalistic Urbanism and People in East Asian Cities” and “Historical Heritage and Urban-cultural Creativity IV”. We are inviting the active participation of everyone, both inside and outside the university community.
