An enlightening journey into beautiful images with words providing a rich narrative of intellectual and cultural heritage of a nation built on a long history of conflict tempered with honour, integrity and beauty.

A very interesting course in Japanese History and Culture prior to and during the early Meijii era and before modern Japan.

Nice learning pace and interesting pick of works of art. It will be great if it can come with a suggested reading list.

Fascinating information of Japans changing mindset in reference to the image and the onset of photography.

Interesting course to understand literary and aesthetic sensibilities in Edo and Meiji Japan.

I found this to be an exceptionally interesting course and learned a lot, thank you.

Very interesting subject for those interested in art of the world.

A nice course on the literary prowess of 19th century Japan.

I enjoyed it a lot

The course material is excellent, but I would appreciate more resources to further explore the continuation of the 19th and 20th century spirit in contemporary Japanese works. Although the content covered in the course is informative, it seems somewhat limited in scope.

Also, would it be possible to provide the Japanese text? I would like access to reading materials in Japanese that include terms such as 'kimono' with their corresponding hiragana and katakana notation.

It was a surprise to see a course on this topic. At first I found the central premise fascinating, but would have preferred more conciseness in the lectures and a wider variety of assessment tasks. For instance, why not have students analyse some images themselves?
