The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Centre for Buddhist Art and Conservation at the Courtauld Institute is delighted to announce its 2025–2026 Lecture Series, exploring the many aspects of Japanese studies in the UK and beyond. This year’s series is presented in collaboration with the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS), the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (SISJAC), and the Courtauld Institute.
The four lectures hosted at the Courtauld Institute will focus on Japanese Buddhist heritage, bringing together diverse perspectives from art history, Buddhist studies, conservation, and curatorial practice. Additional lectures will take place at the partner venues and will also be livestreamed from the RAS and SISJAC, with several events offered online only.
Lectures and events are open to all but please register as spaces are limited in some venues. The start time is 18:30 at the RAS and SISJAC and 18:00 for The Courtauld unless otherwise indicated.
