Ethnologist Yanagita Kunio: Long road to recognition.
P. 72–90.
The glory won by Yanagita Kunio (1875-1962) is rarely attained by "real" humanitarian scholars, espesially as he was dealing with such a narrow field of knowledge as ethnology. Yanagita was unknown to the general public before the war, but gained official recognition in the post-war period.

Contemporary studies on Japanese science and technology (S&T) policy often focus on the limitations of various government initiatives in addressing the nation's developmental stagnation, overlooking distinctive institutional and policy features of its public-private sector symbiosis. This deprives policymakers of critical insights into demand-side governance mechanisms, including policy instruments and coordination frameworks. This research article provides ...

Many studies have been devoted to analyzing Fukuzawa's achievements in the field of enlightenment. At the same time, Fukuzawa's personality has not attracted much attention, which ...

Sporadic attempts to describe one’s own life are observed, for the most part, in those cases when the authorities treated the author, in his opinion, unfairly, and he tried ...

significant contribution to introducing Western civilization to Japan. His writings
on politics, society, state, pedagogy, i.e., products of “mature” Fukuzawa, are often
being studied. However, Fukuzawa’s personality itself usually remains outside the
scope of such studies. But it seems extremely important to understand how the
