講義概要/Course description
This is a survey class of pre-modern Japanese literature before Tokugawa period. Students will be assigned to read important literary works of each period that is accompanied with introductions explaining the cultural and historical context. The reading assignments will begin with a brief overview of major political and social events, brief introductions to the authors and specific texts. It allows you to study both the important works and the cultural history of Japan. The one-year long class is designed to portray a general picture of pre-modern Japanese literature and the elements that nourished the Japanese cultural traditions. 

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the college has decided to continue the instructions and class meetings via internet for Fall semester of 2020 academic year. Given the challenging situation, this class will be carried on with on-demand videos and homework submissions via Aogaku’s “Course Power” system. Details are as followed:

1. PLEASE FINISH YOUR READING ASSIGNMENT based on the syllabus before every class meeting. Due to the copy right issues, unfortunately I am not allowed to upload the PDF files of the textbooks. Please purchase the assigned textbook either in paperback or in electronic version.

2. WATCH ON-DEMAND VIDEOS: I will upload videos before every scheduled class instruction. Since it is not a real-time online meeting, you will have an entire week to watch the videos, anytime at your best convivence. In these videos, I will introduce the context behind the readings and answer the questions you asked in your essays when time is allowed.

3. SUBMIT A SHORT ESSAY: After the class, please submit a short passage no longer than a double-spaced one page (200 words approximately) on any issue that you care from the reading assignment or the contents of the class. I will not give you a “prompt” on what to write. It can be a question, an opinion or a comment on the readings. Please post it directly on the coursework website or upload an attached file as you wish. It will be considered as part of your grade on participation and attendance.

4. FINAL PAPER: Please write a 10-15 double-spaced pages (approximately 2000-3000 words in English) of final paper for this class. We will talk about how to do this in the final week of the instruction. 

If you wish to talk to me in person or you have a question, please join my office hour on the Cisco Webex on-line meeting system. 
Time: Thursday, 15:30-17:00 Location: aoyamagakuin.webex.com (t25244’s personal meeting room) Webex meeting number: 576 599 349 Password is not required.

メッセージ/Message
The readings help us to get a general picture of traditional Japanese literature and culture. The genres may vary, and the historical context in behind these writings keeps changing in different time periods. When people talk about tradition, what do they really mean by this concept? A flexible approach and an open-minded attitude from a variety of points of views are required for one who wishes to further fathom the depth of the anecdotes and the messages behind the stories.
