Dr. Bob Huey, even in retirement, has been diligently working to help complete a major collaborative project that began in 2020. Alongside faculty and graduate students in the East Asian Languages and Literatures (EALL) department at UH Mānoa, Dr. Huey collaborated with scholars in Japan and the Honolulu Museum of Art. This multi-year endeavor has culminated in the March 2024 publication of a unique bilingual print-and-online book, “The Heian Cultural Revival in Edo: Reading the Jūban Mushi-awase Scrolls in the Honolulu Museum of Art’s Lane Collection.” The book, with Dr. Huey and Dr. Teiko Morita (Kyoto Sangyo University) credited as co-editors, brings scholarly attention to an 18th-century treasure, Jūban Mushi-awase, from the museum’s Lane Collection.
