| Course description |
| [This lecture will be discussed in Japanese.] The purpose of this lecture is to consider the characteristics and the establishing process of the civilization, which appeared in Japan in the Edo era. Recently, this civilization has attracted attention as a recycling-based civilization, and it has been said that it will be one of the important analysis subjects in considering the environmental history of Japan. In this class, I’d like to think about the features of Japanese traditional culture and society, following the establishing process of this civilization. |
| Expected Learning |
| You might think that these subjects above will be made clear by analyzing the Japanese history in the era. But it’s a misunderstanding.

In fact, the civilization of the Edo era was formed related with those world situations in those days. The attainment target of this class is to understand the process how Japanese traditional culture and society were formed through relations to those world situations. |
