The Alpine Archipelago: Surveying Japan from the Timberline
The Alpine Archipelago: Surveying Japan from the Timberline
November 14 & 21, 10:30 am - 5:00 pm PST
Zoom Meeting
Please Register HERE for Virtual Conference
Taking a timberline view of Japanese society, this virtual conference explores the place of mountains in Japanese history, literature, film, religion, and pop culture. It does so in the same spirit as Fukada Kyūya's One Hundred Mountains of Japan (Nihon Hyakumeizan): by offering detailed portraits of individual mountain landscapes and the communities in which they are embedded. Each speaker will guide us to a particular peak, showcasing not just the wide range of alpine environments in Japan but the host of methodological approaches to studying the upland areas that make up the better part of the archipelago.
