In 2014, the Shinnyo-en Buddhist organization made a major gift to the Center (for more on Shinnyo-en click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shinnyoen.org\/\">here<\/a>), which led to the renaming of the center in honor of Shinnyo-en&#8217;s current leader, Her Holiness Shinso Ito.<\/p>\n<p>The Ito Center\u2019s mission is to promote the study of Japan at USC. The center fosters this area of study through support of faculty-led research and publications, public conferences and events, supporting graduate students, offering postdoctoral fellowships and hosting visiting scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Among the eight major research projects supported by the Ito Center are: the Hybrid Japan Innovation Lab, focused on generating innovative solutions to the question of Japan\u2019s role on the global stage in the 21st century and the Hapa Japan Database Project, dedicated to the study of mixed-roots Japanese people globally from both historic and contemporary perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a \n  class=\"link\"\n  href= \/cjrc\/staff\/\n    aria-label=\"Read more about Meet Our Team\"  \n>\n    Meet Our Team \n  <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><polygon fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#000\" points=\"19.3,27.5 29.3,17.5,19.3,7.5 16.3,10.4 21.4,15.4 6.7,15.4 6.7,19.6 21.4,19.6 16.3,24.6 \"\/><\/svg>\n<\/a>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n          <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"image-container\">\n            \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cjrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/164\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-31-at-1.30.33-AM-e1693999599482-768x768.png\"\n          data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cjrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/164\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-31-at-1.30.33-AM-e1693999599482-768x768.png 768w\"          data-sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 50vw, (min-width:768px) 100vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n                  role=\"none\"\n        \n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":242,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-158","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
