- Congratulations to Valerie Cranmer for the acceptance of her PhD dissertation on the infamous 防疫給水部, “Enabling abuse: the Imperial Japanese Army’s epidemic prevention and water purification organisation and its place in global military history” research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/handle/10023...

- TIL, if I understand this correctly, in 1937 the Japanese company we now know as Nissan bore the name "Manchurian Heavy Industry Development Corporation" (満洲重工業開発株式会社) and it moved its corporate headquarters to Japanese occupied Xinjing (Changchun).
- No shortage of Japanese wartime (propaganda) periodicals available in English for students to explore as (challenging) primary sources: Tokyo Gazette 1937-42 archive.org/search?query... Contemporary Japan 1941-5 froginawell.net/frog/sources...
- Enjoyed browsing this wonderful online exhibition: Unpinning History: Japanese Posters in the Age of Commercialism, Imperialism, and Modernism scalar.usc.edu/works/unpinn...
- Not sure if this is real but certainly a scene to represent our times.
- Reposted by kmlApproximately five years ago, I weighed in on an academic controversy. Chaos ensued. At the height of the insanity, very angry people kept on sending me a US military document from 1944. I wrote an article about the infamous document, its context, and its afterlife. academic.oup.com/ahr/article-...

- Lot of interesting sources on NDL online collections are embedded in scanned US occupation period files. Example: the 日満支 工業年鑑 for 昭和15 is only available as part of evidence for war crimes trials here: dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/12922208... while elsewhere only up to 昭和13 (dl.ndl.go.jp/ja/pid/1115528)
- Reposted by kmlThis is so problematic. Creating big-money grants (7m EUR!) is such a travesty. Instead of funding 1 researcher, why not fund 25 with smaller grants? It would create more ideas, secure more careers, and create so much more innovative knowledge. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...
