War and Remembrance: Cultural Imprints of Japan’s Samurai Age

An interdisciplinary group of scholars of medieval and early modern Japanese literature, history, religion, and performing arts examine topics related to “War and Remembrance” during Japan’s years of military rule (late 12th to late 19th centuries). Exploring a range of representations and responses to war, participants examine the impacts of war on cultural memory and production.
This conference is a program of UCSB’s Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies with co-sponsorship from the UCSB College of Letters & Science, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, the East Asia Center, and the Departments of Theater and Dance, History, and Comparative Literature.

Funding also provided by the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission and the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies
