offered between June and November 2015 for 1-6 weeks.  (Length and
period to be discussed after application)

Applicants should be a BA, MA or PhD student in conservation during

conservation of urushi objects, depending on current projects and
curriculum at the university.

The university has various analytical equipments such as electron
microscopes, soft X-Ray and X-Ray CT scanner for medical treatments
at the medical study department.

Although from the middle of July to 15 September 2015, the
university itself is on summer holiday, there will be several
workshops related to Japanese craft work and study tours which can
be participated in (related costs need to be paid by yourself).

Applicants need to fund themselves for travel to and from Japan, and
other necessary costs during the internship.

students who can support you in English to a certain degree.

    meets our terms and conditions.

    to the intern, which can be taken back home.
