Because I don't do enough research as it is, I decided that on this first day of the weekend, it would be a good thing to go to an all day seminar on Japanese women in early modern history. It predates just a little the era I'm currently working on.
Hosted at Sophia University, one of Japan's oldest ones set up by the Jesuits to offer a Catholic education, it has been some years since I've visited this campus.

An engaging day of learning and discussion in both Japanese and English but by 6.00pm I was pretty tired and looking forward to getting home, even if it was in the rain...the first real rain for a few days.
There was much to consider in terms of my own work though. A very interesting day.
