A lab that traces how the Grimms' fairy tales reached Japan through their illustrations.
AboutAbout the lab
The journey of fairy tales, traced through illustrations.
The Nishiguchi Lab studies German literature, focusing on the Grimms' fairy tales.
In recent years, the lab has been particularly interested in how the Grimms' fairy tales have been received in Japan, using illustrations as a clue.
On the early reception in Japan, the lab focused on how illustrations depicted the figures, either in kimono or in European dress, and compiled the results in a German-language academic book.
At the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the professor teaches German as well as courses such as Introduction to German-Language Culture.
