On the 19th of May 2016, Kazuto Oshio presented a paper (co-authored with Gail Evans) entitled “Expanding Horizons? An Examination of American and Canadian Landscape Representation, 1860–1918” at the 16th Maple Leaf and Eagle Conference, University of Helsinki, Finland, which argues that the 2009 art exhibit makes a scholarly contribution to emerging North American Studies. He will deliver the extended version at the fortieth anniversary of Nanzan University’s American Studies Institute in early July.
