"...Cercheremo - con gli evidenti limiti della differenza linguistica
e della limitata reperibilità di materiale - di affrontare un discorso

in primo luogo, quindi, Giappone e Corea del Sud, ma non mancheranno
incursioni in quei territori più difficilmente sondabili eppure altrettanto
fecondi (Cina, Taiwan, Tailandia) o, dove possibile,
in esperienze sommerse e meno visibili (Filippine, Malesia,
Singapore, Indonesia, Corea del Nord, Vietnam,
Cambogia, Laos)..." (from the website).
