Diabatsu    From Edo to 21st-Century Tokyo: A New 'Floating World'
By Danielle S. Willkens, 2015 H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellow
May, sadly, marked the end of my time in Japan as well as the conclusion of my travels sponsored by the Society of Architectural Historians’ H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship. To say that a year has flown by is an understatement and my final blog post will reflect upon the experiences and lessons garnered from this incredible experience.

     
Saint Denis    Saint Denis: The Bishop, The Basilica, The Builder
By 'Deyemi Akande, 2016 H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellow
It is an extremely difficult thing to live for something, let alone die for it. The sum of the last days of Saint Denis presented to us through art will indeed try the very foundation of even the fittest of this age. A singular statement in sculpture eloquently captures the mystery that has made Saint Dionysius (Denis) even more potent in death than alive.

Obituary: Hilary Ballon (1956-2017), Founding Editor of Jav福利社 Online
By av福利社 Executive Director Pauline Saliga
av福利社 mourns the loss of Life member Hilary Ballon. Active with av福利社 since 1980, a Board member 2000-2003, and Jav福利社 Editor from 2006-2008, Hilary literally changed the culture of av福利社 when she secured funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2006 to develop the multimedia edition of Jav福利社. It was the first of many grants that Mellon would make to av福利社. Developed in collaboration with University of California Press and with input from scholars across the globe, Hilary envisioned a new publishing platform that would illustrate scholarly journal articles with film, video, panoramic photographs, zoomable images, 3D models, and 3D models superimposed over Google Earth maps.
