In November of 2004 the Institute for Research in Humanities at Kyoto University (Jinbun kagaku kenkyūsho) will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its foundation. Established in 1929 as Tōhō bunka gakuin Kyōto kenkyūsho (to be later re-named Tōhō bunka kenkyūsho), last year the Institute has started a new life with the launching a 21st century COE Program as "East Asian Center for Informatics in Humanities".
Within the framework of this program an international symposium-co-hosted by Italian School of East Asian Studies and the École Française d'Extrême-Orient-will commemorate its foundation, bringing together twenty-six specialists from all over the world. Textual research on religious traditions in China is one of the areas in which the Institute for Research in Humanities at Kyoto University has played a dominant role over the years. The symposium will be a valuable occasion for discussing this tradition of studies and opening new perspectives for future research.
