[edit] Description from course catalog
- This seminar examines physical and cultural aspects of Japanese cities over time. Ancient cities were based on the Chinese imperial model. In medieval times an emerging market economy led to the proliferation of urban sites and the beginnings of a distinctive urban culture. Castle towns predominated during the Tokugawa period, complete with a thriving bourgeois culture. In modern times Japan became an industrialized society whose intellectual and social character was grounded in an urban base.
