Between the Lines: a Monthly Discussion oN Medieval Japanese WOMEN'S LITERATURE

THURSday, mARCH 2, 2023

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM EST

Hosted online via Zoom

Join us to discuss the Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. In this session, we will be looking at how Murasaki Shikibu enhances her narrative through the use of music as a poetic trope. For this discussion, the Hahakigi, Suetsumuhana, and Akashi Chapters will be referenced. You are welcome to read any versions you may have, though the Washburn & Waley translations will be used by the speaker for reference. Please note that Arthur Waley and Suematsu Kencho editions are incomplete.

The club is limited to Japan Society of Boston Members. Interested in joining but not yet a Member of the Japan Society of Boston? Consider becoming a member today! If you don't live in the area, we now have an online only membership.

This event is hosted by our Special Events Associate Christopher Ellars.

Notice: We will be taking a break for the months of June and July, see you back in August!
