Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Second Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities & the Inaugural Asian Conferenceon Literature and Librarianship, held jointly this year.
The aim of this event is to provide an opportunity for academics and scholars to meet and exchange
ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. This international conference will bring
together a number of university scholars working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas.
We have been very impressed by the range and quality of submissions received from the open call for
papers, from authors all over the world, representing many disciplines and approaches, and are
confident that everyone will find reason to be intellectually challenged and inspired by the work of
their fellow members of the global academic community.
We encourage you, as academics working throughout the world, to forge friendships and working
relationships with other participants across national, religious and disciplinary borders.
It is in this spirit of friendship and international cooperation, that we express our warmest regards toevery participant.
We hope you enjoy the conference,Yours truly,

Letter of Welcome
From the Executive Director of the International Academic Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to the Second Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities, to be held this year alongside theinaugural Asian Conference on Literature and Librarianship.
Last year was a wonderful celebration of interdisciplinary study, and the expansion of the event toinclude a paired literature conference will, I am sure provide an inspiration for all. There is much we
can gain from being together. Our two open themes have encouraged academics from around the globe
to meet and share their respective outlooks and collective wisdom. We are pleased to include a variety
of presenters on the program representing a wide range of disciplines.
The speakers will be expressing divergent views, searching for common ground, and creating thesynergies that can inspire multi-disciplinary collaborations. In developing these relationships among
ourselves, we discover conversations and approaches that challenge and inspire. I sincerely hope that
we will use this time together, not just for intellectual discovery and discourse, but also to establish acommon vision and to motivate each other to do our part in the creation of a better world. We greatly
appreciate your attendance and encourage your active engagement throughout the conference.
We are a more intimate event than we would usually expect, in large part due to the events of March,which has caused many would be registrants to put off their visits to Japan for another year. This
intimacy will, I am sure, allow for greater and deeper intellectual relationships to be formed.
My thanks to all those who have helped in the preparation for this event, in particular to International
Advisory Board Chair Professor Stuart Picken, Local Conference Chair Professor Steve Cornwell,
LibrAsia Programme Adviser His Excellency Dr Drago Štambuk, and Featured Speakers Ms Kazuko
Shiraishi and Dr Bashabi Fraser. Also thanks to every delegate for coming, and especially those whohave made the trip from abroad, and in doing so showing a strong show of solidarity with Japan.
Osaka is one of the world’s great cities, and nearby Kyoto a cultural treasure. Whether this is your first
visit to Osaka, on behalf of IAFOR and the whole team, I wish you a very pleasant stay.
Respectfully,
Joe Haldane

Letter of Welcome
From the LibrAsia 2011 Conference Chair & Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award Judge

Dear colleagues, writers and scholars,
Welcome to Osaka and Japan,
At this fateful moment for our host country, after the recent cataclysmic earthquake and tsunami, as
well as Fukushima nuclear disaster, I am sure that I share your deepest feelings for the Japanese people
who have experienced terrible human loss and suffering, and do express my condolences, also on yourbehalf, to the families of the many dead, to the maimed, to the dispossessed, and to the whole of Japanand its kind and loving nation. I do wholeheartedly believe their will, inner strength, patience andendurance will help them to recover and consolidate their inner self, and retreat from the very brink ofwhere these calamitous events have brought them. All of you who came to Osaka are even morewelcome because of your strong show of support and sympathy towards the Japanese people.
Having lived for more than five years in this unique and beautiful country, I have experienced anddeeply appreciated the kindness and resilience of its people, their historic and present technologicalachievements, and their extraordinary culture and heritage.
Allow me to recall humbly my farewell meeting with Their Majesties, the Emperor and the Empress ofJapan, on December 15, 2010. What I told Their Majesties at that time was that without this Japaneseexperience, I would not have such a sense of the wholeness of our world. Without Japan's sense forasymmetry, its notion that less is more, without its sense for reduction, ascetic and sparse, for spaceand silence as such, without its simplifying and perfecting power, its wabi-sabi concept of beauty, andso on, I would certainly be a much more incomplete and one-sided human being. Therefore I am
grateful to Japan, to its people and its ancient civilization, and am also convinced that you share withme the same love and appreciation of many things Japanese, and that's partly the reason why you arehere with us. I do believe with all my conviction in Japan's resilience and its creative genius, and am
sure that the Japanese people will overcome their current difficulties.
I wish you a pleasant, enjoyable and rewarding time at this event. I invite you to exchange yourknowledge and friendship, and leave this great country with strengthened hope, that we are all one
people and that our differences are to both enrich us and to make us closer.
Respectfully Yours,
Drago Štambuk

1st Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award 2011
Vladimir Devidé (1925-2010)
Despite a successful international academic career as a renowned mathematician, with professorships inAustralia and the US, as well as his native Croatia at the University of Zagreb, it is primarily as a Japanologist
and haiku poet that Vladimir Devidé is now remembered.
Devidé was not only one of the world's most celebrated haiku poets, but a tireless promoter of Japanese culture.
If Croatia is now considered a Haiku "superpower", with more poets practicing the art per capita than any othernation, it is largely thanks to his efforts.
A full member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Vladimir Devidé has won a number of awards
and honours, including the Le Prix CIDALC (1977), the Prize of the City of Zagreb (1982), and for his work as apromoter of Japanese culture, the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure (1983).
Vladimir Devidé died in August 2010, and this competition pays tribute to his vision and passion for haiku.
