【Sophia Symposium】Global History of ‘Made in Japan’: Contextualization and Place-Making of Crafts and Terroirs

Date December 8, 2024 10:00-18:00
Venue Room 921, 9F Central Library, Sophia University Yotsuya Campus
*Visitors outside Sophia University are kindly asked to register at the library entrance.
Language Japanese and English will be used (no simultaneous interpretation available).
  Behind every ‘Made in Japan’ exported good lies a rich tapestry of broader contexts and places. This conference aims to forge a new history of traded goods by exploring the concepts, narratives, spaces, interregional networks, and trajectories that have shaped export products on a global scale. Focusing on the early exported genres of crafts and decorative arts (工芸) and terroir products such as green tea, the conference will reveal the essential processes behind the creation of exported goods. This interdisciplinary meeting will bring together historians of art, architecture, economy, cultural anthropologists, and geographers for a collaborative exploration.
Admission Free
