Modern Kyoto Research, a new digital resource for researchers, students, visitors, and general readers interested in debating, analyzing, and learning about change and continuity in Kyoto from the 1850s to the present day.
Building on up-to-date scholarship, and making full use of visual and other primary sources, various thematic units investigate not only how Kyoto's image was constructed in the modern period but open a window on people and places often excluded from popular histories and public promotions. Users will hopefully find the site accessible and visually appealing, as well as critical and diverse in its perspectives on the city/region over the last 170 years.
At present, there are uploaded units on inbound tourism in Kyoto, 1872-1941 (Andrew Elliott), Kyoto and the Asia-Pacific War (Oliver Moxham), Kyoto tourism during the Allied Occupation (Riichi Endo), and war-related sites in contemporary Kyoto (Daniel Milne).
Other units in the pipeline include punk in Kyoto, interwar Geisha in Kyoto, and Kyoto vegetables and food-related regional branding.
