The following is a collection of links; some that I've noted in my general study of 'what is digital humanities?', some that just tickled my fancy or are websites of people I keep an eye on, and some are of the projects I've encountered, (these are listed because I've personally found them interesting, not as any judgement of quality).

DH projects in Japanese studies

Description |
| Japan Disasters Digital Archive |
"The Japan Disasters Digital Archive (JDA) is an online portal to digital materials documenting the cascading series of natural and human-made disasters that began in Japan on March 11, 2011. Designed and maintained by the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University, the JDA relies on the support of partner organizations around the world to supply digital contents, including websites, tweets, video, audio, news articles, and much more. The JDA does not store copies of the data; rather it seamlessly links to digital materials archived by partner projects, allowing you to search, view, and sort items across separate archives and collections in one interface." |
| Digital Literary Maps |
"Poetic places (called utamakura or meisho) have a long standing tradition in Japanese literature, creating a web of topographical references transcending genres of pre-modern writing. Mentioning a poetic place invokes earlier references and a set of textual or even pictorial connotations which gives a special depth to the text. This program aims at mapping Japan’s most important literary places and providing detailed information on their historic, cultural, and poetic meaning." |
