Tributes Section Now on SWET Website

The Tributes section of the SWET website is now live. Here you will find tributes honoring SWET members and notables in the Japanese writing and translating fields who have passed away. We miss them and want to remember their achievements and their contributions.

You can navigate to the Tributes section by choosing the drop-down menu under People and Events on the home page of the website (as shown in the image). Then, click on the Tributes section at the bottom of the list.

The first Tribute is to Robert J. J. Wargo, who ". . . published many articles and translations through the years, including a translation of Umehara Takeshi's book Jigoku no shisō (translated as The Concept of Hell, Shūeisha, 1996). Bob's most notable work and the crown of his academic contributions was his The Logic of Nothingness: A Study of Nishida Kitarō (University of Hawai‘i Press, 2005).
