Japanese Culture Through Rare Books

Explore the important roles that books have played in the cultural history of Japan.

Why join the course?
A book is a tool for preserving words and images. Through books, an abundance of information, including the knowledge and experiences of the people of the past, has been handed down to the present. But books are more than records of words and images. Their form, appearance, and even the scripts and styles used tell us about the fashions and technologies of the times that produced them. By studying old books, we can learn a great deal about the geographical areas in which they were made, the historical background, and the individuals and groups involved in their making.
While displaying remarkable similarities with books produced in other areas of the Sinitic cultural sphere, Japanese books also possess some unique features, starting with their sheer diversity of form and appearance. Using a wealth of multimedia content, we will take a journey through the wonderful world of traditional Japanese books.

An Introduction to Japanese Subcultures

Explore Japanese subcultures and learn about their history from the 1970s to today.

Subcultures have existed for a long time: the greasers of 1950s America, the mods and rockers of the 1960s and 70s in England, the grunge of the 1980s and 90s, to name a few. Each subculture sits within a broader 'parent' culture and can often give us an insight into cultural fears and hopes, especially in the youth of the population.
On this course you will get an introduction to Japanese subcultures that have developed since the 1970s.

Exploring Japanese Avant-garde Art Through Butoh Dance

See how Japanese art absorbed, refigured and influenced Western art in the 20th century through Hijikata Tatsumi's butoh dance.

Get an introduction to the key concepts of Japanese avant-garde art
Butoh dance is practiced and researched globally, but the work of its founder, Hijikata Tatsumi, is relatively unknown. This is in part because archival materials necessary to learning about Hijikata's butoh are not widely disseminated.
This online course will make use of a wide range of archival materials in order to introduce Hijikata's butoh within the context of Japanese and international post-war art and culture.
In doing so, it will both deepen the global understanding of butoh and explore innovative methods for dance education.
