Institute Symposia
Since 1978, the Nanzan Institute has hosted symposia designed to bring together domestic and international scholars of religion to discuss critical issues concerning religion in Japan and beyond. Occasionally, the results of these gatherings are published as conference proceedings. Most volumes included in this series are unavailable online or in book stores.
