The University of East of Anglia (UEA) was not my first choice of school to study abroad. But it became my best choice. At my home university in America, studying abroad wasn’t something people did.

Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship: A truly precious opportunity

The Ishibashi Foundation Summer Fellowship was extremely well-curated and organised. My expectation when I decided to apply for the program was that the three-week duration would comprise introductory lectures of various topics across Japanese art history plus a specific trip to the British Museum’s manga exhibition (which was the only museum exhibition mentioned in the call-for-application). Therefore, the goal that I initially set for myself was to use this summer to gain some basic knowledge of Japanese art history.
