DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mihoko Suzuki\, PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH\, EMERITUS\n\n \n\nTit
 le: Early Modern European Encounters with Japan\n\n\nAbstract: My talk wil
 l discuss two early modern European observers of Japanese society a centur
 y apart: the Portuguese Jesuit Luis Frois (1532–97) and the German physi
 cian and scientist Engelbert Kaempfer (1651–1716). By juxtaposing these 
 texts and considering the different historical contexts in which they were
  written\, both for the European authors and the Japanese society which th
 ey took as their subject (in the late 16th century Japan’s political ord
 er was yet unsettled\, while at the end of the 17th century\, Japan was un
 ified under the Tokugawa shogunate)\, I will arrive at a comparative analy
 sis of these early modern European encounters with Japan.\n\n \n\nCooper F
 ellows Lectures are free and open to the public.\nFor more information\, c
