Pathways may have different forms, depicting either a straight way or a winding one, but they have the same function, that is to trace a route from a starting point to a goal. So does the research work, and we believe that the contributions of the schol- ars hosted in this volume could really enrich the field of Chinese and Japanese Studies through the pathways they chose to trace with their research studies. This volume collects articles by eight contributors interested in different re- search areas within the field of East Asian Studies. The articles, which are orga- nized in a Japanese section and a Chinese section, use different approaches across disciplines belonging to humanities in order to explore topics ranging from clas- sical and contemporary East Asian literature to contact linguistics, sociology and anthropology. The Japanese section contains four essays dealing with modern and con- temporary literature and cinema. The opening contribution by Giacomo Cal- orio concerns contemporary Japanese cinema starting from a statement of the Japanese film scholar Yomota Inuhiko, which isWhat is Japanese Cinema?. In his article, Calorio discusses about ideas of contemporaneity and national cinema in the contemporary Japanese film production. The second contribution, by Diego Cucinelli, analyses the literary motif known as kame naku, ‘crying turtle’, and traces its path through Japanese literature from its origin to the contemporary FUP Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (DOI 10.36253/fup_best_practice) Diego Cucinelli, Andrea Scibetta (edited by), Tracing Pathways 雲路.

In particular, by using kame naku as keyword Cucinelli analyzes the atti- tudes and sensations of modern and contemporary poets and novelists toward the motif. The third contribution is by Marta Fanasca, who deals withyuri manga, i.e. manga focused on the representation of sentimental relations between girls. In particular, Fanasca analyzes the manga re-elaboration of Yoshiya Nobuko’s Hana monogatari (1916), a collection of short stories on “passionate friendships” between students, or a student and a young teacher. The forth contribution, by Tsuboi Hideto, deals with tenkō bungaku, the «literature of conversion»: fo- cusing on some writings by Kobayashi Morito, in his paper Tsuboi analyzes the stories of conversion experiences of various converted people (tenkōsha), reexamining how they accepted conversion, and at the same time focuses on the contradictions and conflicts that occurred there. The contributions included in the Chinese section concern two main mac- ro-topics: on the one side, they bring into light issues related to cultural con- tacts between Italy and
