About the Modules
Module 1
Introduction to Japan
Discuss culture
The culture of Japan stands as one of the leading and most prominent cultures around the world, mainly due to the global reach of its popular culture. Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture; on the one hand it is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years; on the other it is a society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions and technological development that constantly pushes back the boundaries of the possible. Ranging from Japanese food culture to traditions like tea ceremony and martial arts, Japan has a wide array of cultural phenomenon that are distinctly Japanese.
Discuss etiquette
Learning etiquette in Japan is essential for anyone hoping to study, live or work with the world’s second-largest free economy. With the United States being characterized as a “loose” country and Japan often thought of as a “strict” country, expectations of what is culturally acceptable in Japan are much more defined and structured.
Shodō Lesson
Shodō (pronounced shou-doh), Japanese calligraphy, is one of the oldest traditional artforms in Japan. Watch and learn from a Japanese calligraphy master on the proper use of brush and ink on paper, different calligraphy styles, and techniques.

Hear the narratives of those that experience the use of nuclear weapons first-hand.

Kyoto's rich and colorful history, combined with its geographic and climatic factors, has created a city with a very unique blend of tradition, culture, and industry
