  Hello Everyone,

      Here is the tentative Program for Anthropology of Japan in Japan. 
The
group of papers looks quite good and we have scheduled them so that each
paper will have about 30 minutes.

      We have sent out other notices on this board. For full outline of 
our
meeting, including details of how to register, please contact Brian 
McVeigh
[bmcveigh at gol.com]. Our registration deadline has been extended to May 
5th,
but hotel rooms are going fast!

      We hope to see you there.
