The Japanese track develops students’ skills in analysis, writing, and foreign languages by teaching the language and literature of a country with more than 1400 years’ rich cultural tradition. The broad historical sweep of the courses examines narrative traditions as diverse as court poetry, folktales, sutras, kabuki plays, novels, films, manga, and animation.
