    Davis Family Library, Upper Level Display Cases

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

    Music

    On Tuesday evening, May 5th, Xander Bowles will be presenting his 0700 project in Music. Xander is a guitarist of over 8 years with a deep passion for all the styles that the instrument occupies. Over the last 8 months, Xander has been researching and studying guitar construction methods over the course of history and how they define playing styles and the instrument as we know it today. From the renaissance and baroque guitars of the 16th century to the acoustic guitar of the present day, Xander has taken a deep dive into what defines these instruments and their playing styles.
