2015 Kambun Workshop:
Reading the Chūyūki of Fujiwara Munetada

Professor Sanae Yoshida, University of Tokyo
Professor Joan Piggott, University of Southern California

The Project for Premodern Japan Studies 2015 Kambun Workshop focused on the later Heian-period courtier journal, Chūyūki, by Fujiwara no Munetada (1062-1141). Munetada’s journal is one of the most important sources for its time. Professor Sanae Yoshida, a specialist on the journal who has spent her career at the University of Tokyo’s Historiographical Institute (Shiryō Hensanjo), led the workshop with Professor Joan Piggott of the USC History Department. Themes of the workshop included family and residence in Munetada’s Kyoto.
