New Digital Art History website on Japanese handscrolls - Hachiman engi
Melanie Trede (melanie.tredezo.uni-heidelberg.de)

The new Digital Art History Website comprising seven Hachiman engi handscrolls is launched. This should be of interest not only to art historians but also for social historians, scholars in Japanese Studies and religious historians.

Together with a large and wonderful team of students and graduates in the history of Japanese art, Japanese Studies as well as with software developers and the Heidelberg Research Architecture of the Cluster of Exzellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context," we worked one-and-a-half years on this website, supported by the excellence initiative, Field of Focus 3 "Cultural Dynamics in a Globalized World" at the University of Heidelberg.

We all learnt a great deal and would be very grateful if you would send us your feedback including things that didn't work or if you come up with new ideas of how to improve the site.
