I spent much of the day at a Japan Foundation Fellows Conference. I am hazy about the partnership between SSRC and the Japan Foundation, but my Abe Fellowship, which is funding my time here in Tokyo, is a product of their teamwork. So, I spent the day listening to presentations by folks who are far sharper about Japan--mostly much younger folks from all over the world. The Japan Foundation is most generous to fund so many fellows each year.
