Digital Humanities Japan: Resource Wiki
Digital Humanities Japan is an international and interdisciplinary community of scholars and professionals interested in working with digital methods, tools, and resources for Japanese Studies. In addition to exploring this site, interested users are encouraged to join their mailing list.
While this Airtable is featured in the Digital Humanities Japan Resource Wiki (above), it deserves to be singled out. It contains a growing list of tools for digital and humanistic research, and is divided into numerous subsections: Visualization, Mapping, Timelines, Annotation, OCR, Data/Databases, Data Cleaning/Prep, and Tutorials.
