I have a question about Japanese culture. Can you tell me the answer?
(A) The Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics is an
academic resesarch institution, and our members are unfortunately too
busy to provide personal responses to questions of this sort. Try to
find the answer to your question by gathering data or references
yourself. We will be pleased if our website or
publications serve as a hint. I want to contact a certain member of the IJCC. Please tell me his/her E-mail address.

and an appropriate issue to bring up directly with the individual.
If the member has a public E-mail address, it can be found on the
"Staff" page. We cannot provide any further personal information about our
staff. Also, please do not attempt to contact staff members by sending
messages using the inquiry form. I have found a certain paper at your website, but only its title is described, and I cannot read the text. Can you send it to me?
