HIST 159 - Japan Earliest Times to 1868


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3SS, CD

This course examines the origins of Japanese civilization and surveys the classical, medieval, and early modern periods. From the emergence of a court-centered state through the rise and fall of a warrior-dominated society, Japan’s pre-modern history is explored by focusing on political, social, cultural and intellectual developments. Early interactions with Asia and the West will be considered as a means of questioning the ‘opening’ of Japan in the mid-nineteenth century. Enrollment Limit: 50.
Instructor: E. O’Dwyer
