Our invited researcher, Dr. Henrietta Nyamnjoh, visited Osaka Korea Town Museum in Osaka on November 27, 2025.

She exchanged views with Professor Noriko Ijichi (Osaka Metropolitan University), Vice Director of the museum, who also kindly guided her through the exhibition. She provided an insightful explanation of histories that have been excluded from national historical narratives. She was then shown around the nearby Osaka Koreatown and Ikuno Park, a hub for multicultural coexistence. At Ikuno Park, she exchanged views with a staff member about the initiatives being undertaken at the facility.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Professor Noriko Ijichi and to everyone who shared time with us at each place. Dr. Yushi Yanohara (Kobe University) also kindly accompanied us throughout the visit, for which we are very grateful. We also extend our deep thanks to Professor Motoji Matsuda (Research Institute for Humanity and Nature) for creating this valuable opportunity for exchange.
