Following on from this, on August 26th and 27th the Department of Japanese at Visva-Bharati and Reitaku University, with the generous support of the Japan Foundation, co-hosted an International Conference. On the 26th, President Nakayama gave a lecture entitled “The Concept of Nature（shizen) Revealed in the Japanese Garden”, while Prof. Inukai offered a presentation on “The Origins of the Japanese Ethic: Prince Shotoku’s Seventeen-Article Moral Constitution”.
