For more than 40 years, The Japan Foundation has provided support in the form of fellowships to scholars of Japanese studies, from Ph.D. candidates to preeminent leaders in their fields. These prestigious fellowships have given scholars the opportunity to conduct critical research in Japan.
In 2020, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of The Japan Foundation, Toronto, we shone a light on the Japan Foundation Fellowship program with the Fellow Gallery to commemorate past years of valuable intellectual exchange between Canada and Japan. We invite all of our supporters, patrons, and friends to meet our past Fellows and learn about their achievements and experiences during and after their fellowship.
