The first main event of the Second Half will be a buffet dinner in honour of Professor Karen O’Brien, who has recently been appointed Head of Humanities at Oxford. The dinner will be held at Kojunsha (交詢社), one of Tokyo’s premier private clubs, which was founded in 1880 by Yukichi Fukuzawa. This will be our fifth visit to the Club in as many years. It is located in Ginza 6-chome; directions will be sent to those who sign up.

Attendance fee: 7,500 yen (Payment is required in advance by bank transfer; the Society’s bank account details will be sent to those who sign up; no-shows and those who cancel after the deadline [August 27th] will be charged.)
