  • HU 362: Women in the Arts in Japan

    3.00 Credits
    Moore College of Art and Design

    Women and Art: Japan provides a historical survey of the complex relationships between women and the arts in Japan. Because of the relatively late arrival of patriarchy and the unique role women's voices assumed in literature, women's roles as artists, audience, patrons and subjects of the arts were far more important than in other modernized countries. Unified around themes of empowerment and status as subject, the course will begin with an examination of women's roles in early culture, particularly their importance as patrons, and then proceed to explore the impact of women's voices: from the aesthetic influence of the 11th century Tale of Genji, and late Heian and Kamakara illustrated hand-scrolls, through medieval Noh theater, the court arts of Tosa painters and the architecture of Katsura, to the popular 18th century Ukiyo-e prints as well as modern film and video. Satisfies: Art History, Humanities or Liberal Arts NW Elective Requirement
