However, the review does not look directly at modernity; rather, through a review of the ways of the pre-modern East Asian world, the research aims to gain a long-term understanding and outlook that can contribute to modern times. Hence, relativizing the Chinese civilization to self-contained East Asia world theories, the spotlight is placed on the pre-modern phenomenon of repeated civilization movements of Buddhism, seen as a foreign civilization to the East Asian world, toward the east of India. This phenomenon is then regarded as \u0081gglobalization\u0081h in pre-modern times, and is considered an effective perspective from which to capture and reconsider the East Asian world in a relative, objective, and non-static manner.<\/p>\n<p>With the research issues described above in mind, this research will comprise three projects. The first, world order, studies the types of world (secular) order triggered by the eastward movement of \u0081gBuddhist\u0081h civilizations. The second, figurative expression, is a research project that looks at the types of image-based and written language worlds created through the eastward movement of Buddhist civilizations. The third, complex religions, studies the types of religions, faiths, and customs that arose from the eastward movement of Buddhist civilizations. These research projects aim to bring into sharp relief the differences and conditions of coexistence in the pre-modern East Asian world, and to draw up complex theories based on the research.<\/p>\n<h3>Adviser<\/h3>\n<p>Katsuaki Ohashi<\/p>\n<h3>Researchers<\/h3>\n<p>Tokio SHINKAWA (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nSungsi LEE (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nRyoshun OKUBO (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nAkio KAWAJIRI (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nKimiko KONO (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nMotoo KUDO (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nRyuzaburo TAKAHASHI (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nRomi HIDA (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nYuria MORI (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<br \/>\nMasayoshi JOKURA (Associate professor\u00a0, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences)<\/p>\n<h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p>Floor 8, Bldg.No.36 Toyama Campus, Waseda University<br \/>\n1-24-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo,\u00a0162-8644, JAPAN<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +81-3-5286-3945<br \/>\nE-mail:<a href=\"mailto:asiab@list.waseda.jp\">asiab@list.waseda.jp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concluded Laboratory 2015\/03\/31 Director : Tokio SHINKAWA Professor,Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences Rese [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":374,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions\/374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
