Since 2020, Asian Studies graduate students Haley Blum, José Manuel Escalona Echániz, Saeko Suzuki, and Miaoling Xue have been collaborating with Dr. Christina Laffin to create a video series named “Exploring Premodern Japan” that capture aspects of research on premodern Japan. Recently, they are excited to announce that they have released three new videos in their Exploring Premodern Japan series.
The new videos examine tale literature and Genji manuscripts, screens as cultural objects within the Sinographic sphere, and how/why The Pillow Book has been read over the centuries.
The Exploring Premodern Japan YouTube team is grateful to be able to collaborate in presenting some of the exciting ideas, perspectives, and scholarship happening in the study of premodern Japan. They hope colleagues find the videos useful for teaching and more!
Interested in classics in Japanese literature and culture? Explore the new videos and subscribe to their channel! Please stay tuned for their next set of videos featuring Lucia Dolce, Abe Yasuro, and Thomas McAuley.
