Question: understanding more about japanese religion
Hello! I am a doctorate resercher based in Brazil, my theses is about japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto, I am reserching for opportunities to study overseas, it could be in Japan or the USA, since part of my doctorate research can be done overseas ( I have support to do this), I am now reserching for a course or symposium related to japanese contemporary photography / religion in japan. Unfortunatelly I do not speak japanese, so I was wondering if it is possible to find any course in english. Thank you very much for your help, Angela Prada

Question: Is there a rankings list or recognition system indicating the best primary and secondary native Japanese teachers in Japan?
I am working on a public education documentary film, and we are exploring international comparative models with the Japanese model and the concept of the Japanese "Sensei" as a central focus. We are looking for stories about exemplary native Japanese teachers within the primary and secondary school systems. I am wondering if there is a rankings list, or "teacher of the year" equivalent that could help us locate some native Japanese teachers recognized as leaders in their profession. Also, if anyone in their first hand teaching experience have come across an exceptional Japanese instructor or someone who could help shed light and illustrate the concept of "Sensei" we are very interested in hearing your stories. We have found many prominent Japanese scholars and university professors teaching in Japan as well as in the U.S., however we are hoping to find unique personal stories about stellar individuals at a more local level. Any help, insight, ideas or suggestions for our search would be much appreciated! I can be reached by email at costello.shannon@gmail.com. THANK YOU!
