DVD Lecture – Understanding Japan: A Cultural History
Hosted by Volunteer Facilitators

COME JOIN US!
- Japan’s extraordinary culture is like no other in the world, and it remains mysterious to many of us. And that’s unfortunate, because to truly understand Japan’s influence on the world stage, one needs to understand Japan’s culture – on its own terms.
- In an exciting relationship with the Smithsonian, The Great Courses presents these 24 lectures that offer an unforgettable tour of Japanese life and culture. Professor Ravina, with the expert collaboration of the Smithsonian’s historians, brings you a grand portrait of Japan vibrantly illustrated with stunning images from the Smithsonian’s vast collections of Japanese artwork and archival material.
