The Research Cooperative

for researchers, science writers, research editors, translators, publishers

Tonight we have been watching another episode of Kemono no Souja Erin, a beautifully drawn fantasy manga based on a story series written by Naoko Uehashi, a Japanese anthropologist who has studied Australian Aboriginal society. Uehashi mixes realistic cultural elements from many cultures into invented worlds that provide a context for human dramas to unfold. I was especially taken tonight by the scene of 'Erin', a lyre (small harp) player, playing her harp inside the wokshop of a harp maker.

She can be seen with her harp here (art follows music follows human science?)
