Course Title:
Japan in the World: Cultural Flows and Diasporas
Course Number:
12001213
Course Description:
This course examines Japan's cultural encounters with the world, focusing particularly on the late Tokugawa period through early Showa Japan (roughly 1800 to 1930). Though politicians, warriors and diplomats play a part, this course puts culture at the center, examining Japan's encounter with global fashion, food, architecture, shopping, and the visual arts. It pays equal attention to the experiences of women and men, and while focused on Japanese ideas, people and experiences, we also study how Western Europeans and Americans encountered Japan.
