I had not seen this posted anywhere but wanted to share the sad news that Dr. Stephen Luh Addiss, Tucker-Boatwright Professor in the Humanities: Art at the University of Richmond, Virginia, previously of The University of Kansas passed away earlier this month. His translations and and books on East Asian art and poetry have been an important contribution for dcecades.
We did a short write-up on him with links to other resources about Stephen.
I would like to draw your attention to the 2022 RCWBC Colloquium held at the Research Center for World Buddhist Cultures, Ryukoku University.
