On 30 September 2024, our International Research Fellow Prof. Fujihara Tatsushi participated in a Workshop on “Natural Resources and Human Societies in East and West: Early Modern and Modern Environmental Histories from Japan and Germany” at the Deutsches Bergbaumuseum in Bochum. He gave a presentation on “Rice Breeding in the Japanese Empire” and joined a roundable discussion on “Environmental Histories in Germany and Japan” with Prof. Watanabe Koichi (National Institute of Japanese Literature, Tokyo), Prof. Tina Asmussen and Prof. Frank Uekötter (both RUB).
The event was planned and organized by Dr. des. Mariko Jacoby (UDE) and supported by Prof. Katja Schmidtpott (AREA Ruhr). For more information see:
