Course Overview What was life like for foreigners living in Japan before the early twentieth century? Focusing our study on firsthand accounts and other documentary sources, we will examine some of the experiences of European, Korean, and Chinese individuals who made their livelihoods in Japan from the mid-sixteenth through the nineteenth century. Our readings and class discussions will explore a range of topics such as: theoretical models for studying foreigners in Japan; the historical and cultural contexts for their presence in Japan; and the effects of foreigners on Japanese culture and history. Methodologically, we will focus on detailed readings and analysis of documentary and material sources. Through our discussions we will shed light on the broader discourse of integration, exclusion, and exchange between minority and majority groups in Japan and elsewhere.

The class will be organized as an intensive course. Accordingly, the reading requirements are fewer than for a longer course. As is appropriate for an intensive course, a close reading and detailed understanding of the material will be expected. In addition to class participation, students will be asked to submit a book review, two short responses to each of our fieldtrips, and a short research project.

Research Project: A short paper between 700 and 1,200 words. Due Friday December 28th.

Your research project will explore a primary source related to the history of foreigners in Japan that is either not assigned as part of a reading for class or not listed on the syllabus. Both documentary and material/pictorial sources are acceptable primary sources. Examples of acceptable sources include, but are not limited to, historical accounts, paintings, lacquer, ceramics, etc. While a short assignment, this is a formal paper and citations and a bibliography are expected. Depending on your language skills, your paper will typically cite non-English primary and secondary sources. Even when you cannot read a primary source well, you should make an attempt to locate and read it, especially when a translation is available for comparison.
