Section Info: Samurai, ninja, sushi, geisha, manga, anime, Nintendo, Mt. Fuji, kimono, haiku, tea ceremony, Zen, Shinto, washoku, umami, high-tech, modesty, harmony with nature, and four seasons. These are some of the things that may come to your mind when you think about Japanese culture. Indeed, many people in Japan also perceive them as characterizing Japanese culture, often calling them “cool.” This course examines Japanese culture by looking through its perceived images and investigating its historical development. We will traverse several centuries of Japanese history and explore various facets of Japanese culture. Through this exploration, you will develop appreciation of the ever-changing complexity of Japanese culture and society, and a critical perspective from which you can analyze ways in which a culture and cultural identity are defined and redefined within the contexts of history, societies, economics, politics, religions, belief systems, and ideologies.
