Thinking about taking one of my classes?
Some of my class descriptions and audio commments by me are here.
In Spring 2019 I will be teaching:
J130 (not sure about the online version: this class will focus on haiku, in the original)
J159 (online version is out-of-date—I will be changing emphasis
EA109 (online description is reasonable close to what I will do)
In Summer 2019, it is possible I will again teach EA105
•

More or less permanent pages
These panels lead to pages on the imperial poetry collection Selection of Poems Old and New (Kokin waka shū), The Tale of Genji and Heian culture, and The Tale of Heike. Each of these was developed for lecture series at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco or for classes at UC-Berkeley but have been modified over time. They are intended for a general audience.
