2022 is the 350th death anniversary of the Chinese Zen master Yinyuan (Japanese: Ingen) who founded the Japanese Obaku tradition. We plan to make him the theme of our events during the coming year to celebrate his life and accomplishments in both China and Japan. An online exhibition of Obaku art will be launched in March. A series of lectures by scholars and specialists will introduce him and his tradition to the public. In addition, a music concert featuring the Japanese Zen monk musician Mr. Kanho Yakushiji will be premiered online in October. Tea ceremony demonstrations will also be presented in association with these events.
In addition, in the new year, our Center is going to host the 2022 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) annual meeting together with Academia Sinica in Taiwan in mid-September. Pacific Neighborhood Consortium is one of the leading organizations in the fields of Digital Humanities, Informatics, and E-learning. We are honored to host this three-day event on the campus of the University of Arizona.
