JAPAN STUDIES LUNCHTIME SPEAKERS SERIES, 2024-2025
In this talk, Minami Orihara will share her ongoing research on quasi-legal agreements called tanomi shōmon. The presentation will involve primary source analysis and historiographical background on how this class of documents not previously studied in English emerged and evolved in the face of growing intra-village conflict and trans-village associational activity in rural Tokugawa Japan.
This talk is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
Date & Time: Wednesday, February 12, 2025 | 12:30pm – 2:00pm (PST)
