The course on medieval Kyoto specifically focuses on the city’s medieval period, from its founding in 794 to the late 16th century. This was a period in which Kyoto’s cultural identity emerged, and, in view of Kyoto as the site of national authority during this duration, the broader Japanese cultural identity. Studying this timespan in the life of Kyoto lets us follow transformations in the lived environments of the city as it moves from imperial to shōgun military rule.
COMING SOON: Find more information on each movie in the series on their individual listing on our event calendar. Questions? Email cmrs@osu.edu with any questions.
