Editorial This double issue, Volume 22, inaugurates our editorship of the re- vamped journal of the German Institute for Japanese Studies Tokyo (DIJ), now called Contemporary Japan and formerly known as Japanstu- dien. Founded in 1989 by Professor Josef Kreiner, who was also the DIJ’s founding director, this journal underwent several transformations as the DIJ gained recognition as a centre of scholarship and interna- tional encounters in the world of Japanese Studies. Contemporary Japan takes this process one step further. When it first appeared, Japanstudien was an outlet for the work of DIJ staff, while Contemporary Japan reaches out to the scientific community at large. It is a peer reviewed journal that only publishes articles that have passed the scrutiny of quali- fied specialists. This is my opportunity to thank those who helped to make this step possible by lending their expertise: the twelve scholars who agreed to serve on the editorial board. The fact that out of twelve invitations we received twelve positive replies was a great encouragement to go ahead with this project. We rely on their judgement and look forward to work- ing closely together with the board in the years ahead.
