Between the Lines: a Monthly Discussion on Medieval Japanese Women's Literature

Thursday, September 5, 2024

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM ET

Join us to discuss some of the greatest classics of medieval Japanese literature, written by women authors!  

We will be taking a break for the summer months of June, July, and August and continuing our meetings in September with The Ink Dark Moon as translated by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Aratani.  This work has wonderful translations of poetry by Ono no Komachi, a key figure in Japanese literature. 

You may find a copy of the book here. 

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.
