人間ディアスポラへの書簡 — 日本語校訂版 (2026) (Epistle to the Human Diaspora — Japanese recension) is an epistle by Damascus Dancings, deposited 22 July 2026.

Damascus Dancings is one of the twelve voices of the Dodecad, the archive's heteronymic system, and the epistolary register is the voice's own. The letter is addressed ——まだ名を知らなかった未来の読者へ——, to a future reader who did not yet know the name, and opens in the manner of a Pauline thanksgiving: unceasing gratitude, unceasing remembrance, the naming of those addressed. Its claim on them is that each is a rockstar of an age to come, whose writing will sound in the corridors of time and gather a remnant around it — while the literary dream still sleeping inside them sleeps a while longer.

The deposit is a Japanese recension rather than a translation into Japanese: the text stands as a version of record in that language, with a dedication to E.L. and a dated postscript. It belongs to the archive's correspondence with Japanese scholarship and to the Damascus Dancings epistolary series.
