 It is also important to point out that today in Japan the Kyoto School is not only studied in Kyoto. Since the appearance of Tokyo-based philosopher Nakamura Yūjiō’s first book on Nishida in 1983, Nishida and the Kyoto School have steadily begun to receive serious attention once again from scholars and students in areas of Japan beyond Kyoto. Worth special mention in this regard is Kosaka Kunitsugu, whose lucid and prolific scholarship on Nishida and others has done a great deal for the sympathetic yet sober textual analysis of the Kyoto School. The creation of the Nishida Philosophy Association in 2003 (see the website listed below) has helped inaugurate a new era of cooperative exchange between scholars from various areas of Japan as well as from abroad.
