Innovation of Tradition: New Challenges
for Kyoto’s Craftsmen Companies –
Shinzaburo Hanpu and Karacho
The symposium will be hosted jointly by Doshisha University and
SOAS University of London. By providing a fresh vantage point,
the symposium hopes to further debate on social and cultural theory
on Japan and Kyoto. This symposium aims, through a unique partnership
of the two universities, to stimulate broader interest in Japan
and the UK in the world of Kyoto craftsmanship – traditions
which have undoubtedly shaped the foundations not only of Kyoto
culture, but Japanese culture in general. Public exhibitions to
both students and citizens will be offered in hopes that international
ties between the two universities and local communities will be
further strengthened.
