  Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

  8:00 AM ET

  Sponsored by:

  Japanese and Axinn Center for the Humanities

  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.

  Sonia Hsieh, MSW ‘10.5, would like to share a message of self-transformation and love. No matter your background, life experiences, setbacks, or challenges, an embodied life is accessible to everyone. For over a decade, Sonia has worked as a psychotherapist in the self-help and inner inquiry space—first transforming herself, then guiding many others through profound processes of change and altered states of consciousness. When mind, body, and soul unite as one, the miracle of love becomes not only possible, but deeply felt and known.
