Sino-Japanese Cultural Connections in the Yuan Dynasty 4 May, 2019 9:30 am - 11:00 am |
Learn about a unique period of cultural exchanges between Japan and China as presented by Dr. Yoshiaki Shimizu. In the Yuan dynasty when the political control of China was under the Mongols, the cultural relations established during the thirteenth and part of the fourteenth centuries between Japan and China were the longest and the closest experiences in the area of religion and arts between the two countries. Japanese visitors and Buddhist pilgrims studied in China for months and sometimes years. Such bi-national encounters profoundly transformed Japan's subsequent history.
This illustrated lecture will cover the cultural and artistic consequences of this relationship which are often only briefly covered in Sino-Japanese history. Dr. Shimizu will consider the new challenges in the realm of religion and arts that Japan would experience for the next centuries.
