Lecture details
The aim of this seminar is to learn in concrete terms about the East Asian cultural tradition of Japan. You probably already know that a variety of Japanese cultural traditions have been formed through things like books and paintings, tea and incense coming from Mainland China to the Japanese archipelago. However, what if it comes to more tangible experiences, like comparing a Chinese book with its reprint produced in the Muromachi era, appreciating Song dynasty and Japanese paintings next to each other, learning about tea culture through the tools used for tea ceremony or taking a close look at the incense ceremony? The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology approved specific area research project "Maritime East Asian cultural exchange and the formation of Japanese traditions" and the "East Asia Liberal Arts Initiative", an education program of the University of Tokyo, offer you this opportunity in a joint project.
Lecture method
The topic of this lecture are cultural products who have come from China to become part of Japan’s traditional culture, such as writings, paintings, tea ceremony and incense ceremony. For each topic experts will be invited to give lectures and conduct hands-on classes. There will be two or three classes per topic. There will also be excursions, such as study tours to libraries and art museums, and students will be required to hand in reports that reflect their specific interests.
