Mamoru Shibayama Talks about Archives: Area-Studies with Informatics Perspective
“I don’t really like simple ‘archives’.” Mamoru Shibayama (Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University, Informatics and Area Studies) expected KURRA to realize a system for organizing materials and making them usable in accordance with the demands of the times. He believed that it was not enough that materials were just collected, preserved, and provided, but that they should also be used in research activities.
In this video, Shibayama was interviewed and talked about his thoughts as one of the founders of KURRA and his experience with archives.

The Painting of the 15 Mysteries of the Madonna
In 1931, the Painting of the 15 Mysteries of the Madonna was found at a village in the mountains at Ibaraki, Osaka. This beautiful painting, which was found at a loft of a private house, is a masterpiece that reflects the feelings of people in the Edo period, who didn’t abandon their religious beliefs in spite of severe oppression. In the second half of 1990s, researchers impressed by existence of the painting performed overall investigation and recording with as much enthusiasm as people who protected the painting. In this video, you can approach what did motivate the researchers.

Philosopher of Nothingness, a founder of a Japanese philosophy from ZEN Buddhism: NISHIDA KITARO
Nishida laid the foundation of a Japanese philosophy through profound understanding Buddhism, especially Zen with his positive reception and appreciation of Western philosophy. He criticized its structure grounded on “subjectivity to objectivity” concept, from his theory on “pure experience” and his idea on “place.” At the present day when the modern science-technology civilization upon the structure of Western philosophy is facing various problems, Nishida Philosophy is attracting more interest in even Europe and America.

The Tomb of Sei’i Tai’shogun, SAKANOUENO TAMURAMARO
An owner of Nishinoyama tomb, which was found in 1919, had been unknown for a long time in spite of its splendid burial accessories, including a national treasure.

Paleoanthropology in Africa
Only less than a few percent of fossil anthropoids, which have a history of over twenty million years, have been found so far.

At a burning land of Kenya, paleoanthropologists continue excavating to find clearer evidences.
