Letters from the Field

Communication from Abroad

    Museum staff members often stay abroad to conduct research and for academic interaction with local scholars. Their essay-style communications (in Japanese) illustrating not only the research situation outside Japan, but also the everyday things that they encounter in a foreign country are presented here on the web.
