This course surveys the unique culture of Japan, examining the intimacy of the landscape and its people. We will study important moments in Japanese history, including the fascination Americans have had with Japan since Admiral Perry’s time. We will end with a look at contemporary Japanese society and culture.

This class is part of a collaboration with the University of Iowa Lifetime Enrichment Adult Program (LEAP).
