Although East Asian studies scholars have a long history of using technology to their advantage, starting in at least the 1970s, East Asian digital humanities lags behind digital humanities in other parts of the world. This gap is rapidly closing, and a variety of new resources, tools, and communities have developed in the last few years. At the same time, this progress has produced a remarkable flowering of research. This article provides a broad overview of some of the more recent and important trends in East Asian digital humanities. I discuss a variety of important datasets that include text corpora, geographic information, biographic data, images, and more. I also introduce a number of analytical tools, discuss community building efforts, and discuss some of the research that has emerged from this. Finally, I address efforts in digital humanities education, because although East Asian scholars are rapidly adopting digital tools, the field still faces a gap in knowledge driven by a lack of easily accessible training opportunities. 1 | INTRODUCTION There have been significant developments in the application of the digital humanities (DH) to East Asian studies in recent years. The field is rapidly growing, attracting interest from funding bodies, cultural heritage institutions, and scholars from undergraduate students to full professors. Digital East Asian studies has gone through a few distinct phases, marked by ever expanding areas of inquiry and increased technical sophistication. The East Asian studies community has been developing digital infrastructure, datasets, and tools since long before the term "digital humanities" was coined. As computers have become more widespread, new resources and platforms are making information An older version of this article focused on North American and European Chinese digital humanities. This was translated by Song Yingchun (宋迎春) and published in Chinese in 2018 in Shandong Social Sciences (Vierthaler, 2018). I have also written on the state of Chinese digital humanities elsewhere (Vierthaler, 2016c).
