Welcome to the
Mitsubishi Corporation Summer School in Early Modern Japanese Palaeography at the University of Cambridge.
Conceived as a contribution to the field of Japanese studies globally, our summer school trains the new generations in decoding, transcribing, and translating early modern manuscripts and woodblock-printed texts. With us you acquire and hone the complex set of skills required to work with early modern Japanese texts, while working with cutting edge technology that involves AI.
The first summer school was held in 2014 and in 2023 we are celebrating the tenth anniversary. Over the course of these years we have trained more than 350 young researchers and we are ready to welcome many more.
Our ongoing partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation is growing ever stronger, and we have renamed our summer school in 2023 to acknowledge the wonderful and sustained support: The Mitsubishi Corporation Summer School in Early Modern Japanese Palaeography.
