[ About the database ]

This open access database combines six of the following cultural studies related databases into one.

  • SISJAC Database: Information collated by the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (approximate number of records: 5,113) [information continuously being added]

    This database includes Japanese art related publications. The database was created as part of the project ‘Shaping the Fundamentals of Research on Japanese Art’ which the Department of Art Research, Archives and Information Systems at the Institute has been conducting in collaboration with the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (SISJAC) in the UK since 2013. (The database lists publications, printed from January 2013 onwards in principle.)
