【Outline and objectives】
While you are waiting for a train in morning rush hour, you
may have encountered slightly peculiar scenes in Japan: an
office worker enjoying manga, a lady putting a yuru-chara
keyholder on her upscale designer bag, or a train sliding into astation the interior and exterior of which is covered by printed
anime characters.
Such visual art culture seemingly pervades and is wellaccepted in Japan. Looking at the development of visual arts,
can it help us to get a better understanding of people’s idea or
aesthetics, which such visual arts may embody?
This course explores relationships between the study of visualarts focusing on Modern and Contemporary eras and theexpressions and ideas behind them. Adopting interdisciplinary
and practice-based approaches to arts, media, and design, we
will look at how visual arts and its aesthetics have shaped andinfluenced Japanese daily life and people’s way of seeing things.
【Goal】
The course aims to nurture critical eyes for visual arts
through lectures and practices while referring to correlatedarts and design movements as well as historical backgrounds
in and outside Japan. Gaining insights into how visual arts
have been developed in Japan, students will obtain a deeper
understanding of visual expression, visual language, ideas
and aesthetics (e.g. kawaii, ma, asobi), as well as practicalexperience while working on a theme of your own, which to be
discussed and decided in class for your own Visual Art Projects.
*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】This course uses a practice-based learning approach to develop
students’ understanding of visual arts in Japan. Students are
expected to engage in weekly exercises supported by lectures
discussing signature artists, designers and artworks. Exercises
initially take the form of drawing activities that ask students
to explore artworks visually. Working towards an individual
approach, students are required to make artworks (in any
media), to assemble them as visual art projects, and to present
them in the form of portfolio books. To create a portfolio
book, students are expected to use an online book printing
service (suggestions will be given). To evidence the creative
process, students are also expected to document the classes andactivities in a workbook.
Submission of assignments and mutual feedback are to be
uploaded on Slack.

【Outline and objectives】
Japan is a nation that has undergone huge changes in the last 150
years, transforming from a feudal society ruled by warriors, to an
expansionistic imperial state, and then to a modern democracy witha pacifist constitution. This course explores how issues of militarism,
pacifism, and nationalism have shaped Japanese identity and history.
One event that took place over 70 years ago ‒ the Second World War‒ looms large over Japan’s current politics and society. This course will
explore how postwar Japan has struggled to come to grips with a war
that was fought in the name of a “Greater East Asian Co-prosperity
Sphere,” yet resulted in millions of deaths throughout Asia and left
Japan’s major cities in ruins. The war brought about years of American
Occupation and the adoption of a constitution that bans Japan fromofficially maintaining a military or waging war. Through lectures,group discussions, and student presentations, we will gain a better
understanding of how these issues have influenced Japan’s society, its
domestic politics, and its relationship with its Asian neighbors. This
course is not a traditional history of Japan’s conduct in wars. Rather,
it is an interdisciplinary examination of Japan’s war experience and its
impact on postwar Japan. This course will trace Japan’s journey from amilitaristic autocracy to a pacifist democracy.
【Goal】
By the end of the course students will be able to:• Demonstrate an understanding of social scientific approaches tohistorical memory, national identity, and nationalism• Express viewpoints on various perspectives of current controversies
in East Asia involving the remembrance of World War II• Evaluate the importance of the pacifist and anti-war movement inpostwar Japanese society & politics• Analyze the domestic and international significance of the atomic
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki• Integrate historical discussions into an understanding of the current
security situation in East Asia, and Japanese political debates over remilitarization• Construct analytical essays and engage in discussions concerning
major issues*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.

【Outline and objectives】
This course looks at Japanese society through the lens ofglobalization and its transnational relations with foreigners
and foreign societies. On the one hand, Japan’s relative
geographical isolation as an archipelago that is surrounded by
the sea has cultivated a unique aesthetic culture that attracts
people across the world in recent times, as well as being oneof the driving forces behind its economic development. Yet atthe same time, this could also be a critical factor in generatinga peculiar social system and norms that sometimes generate
a considerable gap with the “global standards.” Hence, intheory, the global process would be an agency that shape,
reshape and alter the social structure in both positive andnegative ways. As such, how does globalization - the closer
integration of the countries and peoples of the world, especiallyafter the 1980s - affect the change in contemporary Japanesesociety?
The course will explore this question throughreading and discussing the effect of transnationalism ‒ both
inbound/import and outbound/export - on migration, work, civilsociety, tourism, education, family, culture, identity, language,
Olympics among others. The course also introduces theoretical
approaches to understand globalization and transnationalism.
【Goal】The primary goal of this class is to gain an alternative
understanding of Japanese society that could not be seen only
observing from the perspective of the nation-state. Taking
the transnational and relational approach would then provide
us with insights to understand the why and how, as wellas in what way Japan is changing in this contemporary era.
Students are expected to gain skills and insights to criticallyanalyze Japanese globalization through comparative approachwith other countries from East Asian, North America, Europe
among other regions that you are familiar with.
*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】The course follows a mixed lecture-seminar format, combining
formal presentations, short lectures, and group discussions
designed for ESOP students at Hosei.
Each student isrequired to make a presentation on assigned readings during
the semester. In the class, followed by the presentation,
participants are expected to discuss the topics through criticalreadings of the materials. Students will choose a topic related
to the themes of the course for the final paper.
The instructor will provide feedback to the presentations
during the class. Students can also access the instructor during
office hours (prior appointment needed).

【Outline and objectives】
We will draw on a "social constructionist" framework and examine how
certain social problems have been discovered, defined, and dealt within post-war Japan. We begin the course by providing an overview ofsociological approaches, in particular, a social constructionist approach
to social problems, and critically examining Nihonjin-ron (theories ofJapanese-ness) to provide frameworks for approaching Japanese social
problems. We will then discuss specific Japanese social problems aroundthe family, education, youth, gender, work, and aging Japan.
The aim of this course is to take critical perspectives into representations of Japanese social problems, particularly in the media, throughtaking a constructionist approach.
【Goal】
By the end of the course, students will be able to explain the "social
constructionist" framework and apply it for making sense of Japanesesocial problems in post-war Japan. It is expected that students willdevelop a nuanced understanding of contemporary Japanese society
through critically examining the social problems from sociological/
anthropological perspectives.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?】【Method(s)】Classes will primarily be based on discussions rather than lectures.
It is therefore expected that students come to class having done theassigned reading and ready to discuss them. Every student will makea presentation (either individually or in groups) or write a paper ona chosen topic. Feedback will be given on the Learning Management
System for assignments submitted on the Learning Management
System, and in class for work done in class (e.g. presentations).

【Outline and objectives】
When you follow media outlets from different countries, you will
notice that very similar events or concepts can be elaborated uponin very different ways. Some issues are covered more widely
whereas some do not even make it to mainstream media outlets.
Have you heard of "Las Tesis"? Do you know "Greta Thunberg"?
Do you know the "#metoo" movement? What about the "#kutoo"
campaign? How much do you know about the COVID-19 situation
around the world?
Countries have dominant ideologies that are formulated throughinstitutions of power and diffused through mainstream media.
Consequently, we are subject to stereotypical media representations formulated by the dominant culture and ideology that we live
in. This determines what we are informed about and in which way.
This class is designed for students to have media literacy throughthe analysis of identity formation linked to race, ethnicity, andgender in Japan.
Repetitive and stereotypical media representations have a significant impact on how we think about different events, minority
groups or subcultures. Lectures will combine theories from cultural
studies, media studies and gender studies to analyze stereotypicalrepresentations in mainstream media outlets in Japan.
Through this class, students will gain academic skills to identify
these stereotypical media representations and to examine thesefrom a critical perspective.
【Goal】
Each class will start with a theoretical introduction from either
cultural studies, media studies or gender, followed by discussion
on the media chosen by students.
The analysis of media will allow students to understand dynamics
of media representations in Japan and to differentiate between
mainstream ideology versus minorities and subcultures.
At the end of the semester, students will be equipped withenough knowledge to identify the discourse formulated by power
institutions that sustain dynamics of how minority groups anddisadvantaged groups are portrayed in the media and how
mainstream ideas are reproduced and strengthened through media
representations.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】Students are required to participate in class discussion and share
their views and ideas with their classmates while respecting
different views and cultures.
There will be discussion sessions during which students will havethe opportunity to work in small groups and discuss theories
learned in class with examples before the mid-term and thefinal exams. All students are required to actively participate indiscussion throughout the semester.
General feedback will be provided at the beginning of each class
whereas individual feedback on assignments and quizzes will be
provided through Google Classroom system. Students who preferto submit assignments and exams through HOPPII should contact
the lecturer to receive feedback during office hours or by e-mail.

実務教員：【Outline and objectives】
This course asks you to think about and discuss the principle ofpress freedom through its expression here in Japan. Over the 14
weeks of the course, you will delve into the Japanese free press’
sometimes troubled history and present reality, while grapplingwith questions that go to the heart of not just journalism, but
to definitions of the "public good" and the health of democraticsystems. For example: Is state control of the news media everjustified? Looking at real-world situations for context, your own
responses to that question may surprise you. Like any goodjournalist, be curious and critical.
【Goal】
Using historical and present-day case studies, you will examine
what press freedom actually means in practice, and the different
ways it can be restricted. For example, does keeping secrets
and imposing penalties for reporting them count as limiting press
freedom? You will do this by:- examining the early days of print news in Japan, and the darkdays of the descent into war;- discussing types of information control, and present-day law andattitudes to official secrecy;- questioning, through actual examples, whether there are any
ethical limits to freedom of the press and expression;- comparing coverage of the same issues in different publications;- a formal team debate on a question related to press freedom or
freedom of speech;- and talking about how news is covered from day to day, throughclass analysis of at least one real-time news article per week (ofyour choosing).
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】In Class
Each class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosen
by you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just on
the content of the news but on how it is presented and why.
We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about the role andresponsibility of journalism in each situation.
This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reflected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,
quality of contribution is more important than volume; wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.
After Class
By the end of the Monday after each class, students will post theirpersonal thoughts on the topic discussed in the course discussion
forum on Hoppii, and comment on at least one other student’s
reflections, to keep the discussion fresh and moving forward. The
instructor will also read and comment on the students’ posts.
Final Paper and Presentation
The final project is a research paper (approx. 3,000 words)
plus presentation to the class on a major issue of journalism,
information literacy or freedom of expression. For the presentation,
the instructor will be looking at the quality of the argument, strong
evidence, and the student’s ability to answer questions on their
topic.

and theater directors around the world who attempt to overcome theboundaries set by the Western stage traditions.
This course takes up traditional Japanese theater and Takarazuka
Revue (all-female musical theater ̶-another “peculiar” Japanesetheater) and helps students compare them with Western theater.
Through this comparison, students will not only gain the indepth
understanding of both theatrical traditions but also recognize thepotentials of Japanese theater to widen the theatrical experiences ofmodern audiences.

【Outline and objectives】
From an external view, Japan is often seen as a country withobedient citizens that lack aggressive social movements and"strong" civil society. Conversely, in a positive sense, Japan is
imagined as a society in harmony and conformity without thetumultuous political disorder. Yet in fact, in various critical
moments in its history, the country has experienced large scaleand vehement uprisings that had impacted the transformationof society and politics one way or the other. This course
will provide an overview of Japanese social movements fromthe post-war period until the current. The course introducesrich narratives of Japanese movements, particularly in three
critical time phases; the mass uprisings in the 1960s, the newsocial movements in the 1980s to 2000s and contemporary
movements after the 3.11 triple disaster in 2011. It also covers
social movements with different characteristics and aims
from democratization movements, youth movements, peace,terrorism, feminism and sexuality, racial minority politics
to environmental movements. By looking historically andcomparatively of the Japanese social movements, the course
will provide profound knowledge and critical perspective inunderstanding the development and the characteristics ofJapanese society and its social structure.
【Goal】
By the end of this course, students will be able tocritically analyze the unique characteristics of Japanesesocial movements with some comparative insights with social
movements in America, Europe, Asia or other areas thatyou are familiar with. The course also offers an alternative
perspective on post-war and contemporary Japan, which may
differ significantly from the economic or political researches
that focus more on government authorities, large corporations,and powerful elites.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】The course follows a mixed lecture-seminar format, combining
formal presentations, short lectures, and group discussions
designed for ESOP students at Hosei.
Each student isrequired to make a presentation on assigned readings during
the semester. In the class, followed by the presentation,
participants are expected to discuss the topics through criticalreadings of the materials. Students will choose a topic related
to the themes of the course for the final paper.
The instructor will provide feedback to the presentations
during the class. Students can also access the instructor during
office hours (prior appointment needed).

実務教員：【Outline and objectives】
News plays a significant role in forming what we all think we know
about the world. Through the lens of print news here in Japan, This
course asks students to question and discuss the ethics of reporting,tackling issues including anonymous sourcing, privacy vs. public
interest, and cozying up to information sources. Hopefully, you will
never look at news articles the same way again.
NOTE: You may enroll in this course without having taken
Journalism in Japan I.
【Goal】To achieve the above, you will explore the ins and outs of news
reporting by:- exploring how print news media operates in Japan, especially the
big national dailies;- learning the basics of writing articles and penning a few of yourown, from a simple crime story to a major news feature;- looking at real-world examples from both the past and more recent
times, and discussing ethical problems and solutions for each casewith classmates and the instructor;- and choosing real-time news stories to dissect in class, asking thebasic but important questions: What happened? And is it news?
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】In Class
Each class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosen
by you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just on
the content of the news but on how it is presented and why.
We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about what itmeans to behave as an ethical journalist, editor or publication ineach situation.
This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reflected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,
quality of contribution is more important than volume; wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.
ArticlesThe bulk of the written work for this course is made up of threenews articles the students will have to write based on provided
information and, for the last two, their own research. The articles
will rise in complexity from basic news report to a news feature
on a major social issue. The instructor will be looking for structure,efficient presentation of information, and adherence to newswriting
ethics such as source accreditation.
Other Written Work
The instructor will provide feedback on written work in the form ofextensive comments and constructive criticism, as well as a number
grade (where applicable).

【Grading criteria】
Participation: 25%
As this is a heavily discussion-focussed class, you should be willingto state your views on the topics covered and engage both the
instructor and your classmates in debate and exchanges of ideas.
Everyone will have plenty of chances to speak, and you will be given
the time you need to express yourself, so make your voice heard.
Preparation: 25%
Be ready to discuss the weekly readings in detail and from multiple
angles. Please note that you will sometimes be asked very
specific questions about the readings, and to make short grouppresentations regarding the material.
Also, have at least one Japan-related article from that week’s news
ready to discuss in every class.
Three articles: 40%
Article 1=5%, Article 2=15%, Article 3=20% (+possible bonus)

One short essay: 10%
NOTE: Three unexplained absences will result in an automatic E.
【Changes following student comments】
I will make sure to allow time for discussion on the article writing
assignments after they have been handed back, to better prepare
students for the next assignment in the series.
I have also changed the topic of Class 5 to Access Journalism, tobroaden the discussion of the issue out from kisha clubs.
【Others】
This is a practically focussed sister class to JiJ I: Journalism and
the Power of the Press in Japan, though it may be taken on its own
with no problem. Some foundation material is shared with Powerof the Press, but the core focus and tasks are different.
