Japanese Culture: From Animism to Anime


Charles Inouye, Tufts University
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
4:00 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. EDT
Register Online: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/900405032

What do Spirited Away, Japanese gardens, sumo wrestling and Godzilla have in common? In this webinar, Professor Charles Inouye of Tufts University will explain how these distinctly Japanese cultural phenomena reflect the important concept of animism. He will introduce animism as manifest in Japan, discuss the history of changes (particularly in relationship to Shinto and Zen Buddhism), and show how it has survived and is thriving through examples from traditional and modern Japanese culture.
