Japanese Studies alumni group
Tsurugi no kai 剣の会
To enable Japanese Studies alumni to share news and interests, offer new graduates advice and discuss ways to ensure the prosperity of Japanese Studies at Cambridge we have formed the group Tsurugi no kai (from the Meiji-period name for Cambridge 剣橋). This might then lead to a series of reunions involving a lecture and a dinner in Cambridge and/or London and a series of informal contacts.
We would welcome expressions of interest and ideas as to how this might be made to work. Perhaps a launch event in London or Cambridge? Francoise Simmons (graduated 1990 and now Faculty Librarian) has agreed to act as our nerve centre. Please do e-mail her on fs285@cam.ac.uk or contact her via the Tsurugi no Kai group on Facebook.
