Dear all:<br><br>These responses are thoughtful and very helpful. I appreciate all of your feedback! I'll definitely be following up on these ideas. In the meantime, if you have a sinecure you could set up, I'm all ears... :-)<br>

Others have mentioned other MA programs, so I thought I should mention the MA program in East Asian Studies at Yale. It is a year long, groups together people of different disciplines, but tends to be well-funded (which means fellowship money for students). Some think it is a bit short, but it might be good in your case as you want to get acclimated to grad school before taking the PhD plunge. You can of course do Japanese language work as well as a lot of film and literature. Yale has the combined PhD program in East Asian film, and one of our current doctoral students started out in the MA (and applied to the PhD during that year). It is a good stepping stone to that program.<br>
