The Japan Foundation, Madrid, in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan in Portugal, the Universidade do Minho and the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, though its Institute of Asian Studies, organizes an online lecture by Prof. Rebekah Clements (Autonomous University of Barcelona).
The online lecture is about the first translation of Genji monogatari (“The Tale of Genji”) into English, made by a Japanese scholar-diplomat called Suematsu Kenchō (1855-1920). He translated the first seventeen chapters of Genji and published them in London in 1882.
