Buddhism in the Aizu Region: An Internet Project
Project Representative(s): Janet Goodwin, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
Also known as the Aizu History Project the main focus of this work is on the development of a Web site, which attempts to relate a comprehensive history of Japan from the perspective of the Aizu region in Japan, which Prof. Goodwin understands to be in many ways more typical of the whole of Japan than many of the better-known areas such as Tokyo and Kyoto. The reception of this information site has been exceptionally good, and it is being translated into Korean by Ehwa University. In character, this project is quite similar to that of the above-related cultural atlas project, except that it is much more localized in scale.
