The Nanzan Seminar was a brainchild of our Director Okuyama Michiaki, who wanted to provide an opportunity for advanced graduate students researching Japanese religions to discuss their topic in Japanese and interact with some of the best Japanese specialists in the field. The response to our invitation was encouraging, and the Seminar itself exciting and provocative. Our concern that the meetings could not continue for the whole time in Japanese was unfounded, and the active participation by all involved was truly a joy to behold. This report by Kawahashi Noriko, one of the four commentators at the Seminar, appeared originally in the 29 June 2013 edition of Chūgai nippō 中外日報 (page 5) as トランスナショナルな日本宗教研究へ――多様 な関心取り込む海外研究.
