> subsequently haiku and manga, Japan's long and rich literary history make
> it an ideal place to bring together academics, writers, and librarians to
> celebrate, debate, and explore their common passion. The aim of this
> International Conference is to encourage academics, scholars and
> practitioners representing an exciting diversity of countries, cultures,
> and religion to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum encouraging
> respectful dialogue. By bringing together a number of university scholars
> working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas, LibrAsia 2011
> will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new
> contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.
>
> LibrAsia 2011 will not only be an academic conference, but also offer a
> number of talks, workshops, and readings of original works, in an exciting
> long weekend of interdisciplinary and intercultural discussion. The Land
> of the Rising Sun offers an amazing juxtaposition of cultures, of east and
> west, of religious and secular, and of course of the Ancient and Modern
> reflected by tone of the conference themes. The other theme is Journey's
> of Discovery and the conference organizers hope that delegates will join
> on a collective and individual, intellectual and actual journey of
> discovery.
