Rutgers Meets Japan: A Trans-Pacific Network of the Late Nineteenth Century
This website was created for the Interdisciplinary Honors Seminar “Rutgers Meets Japan,” taught by Professor Haruko Wakabayashi at the Rutgers University, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in Spring 2020, which explored this crucial moment of early U.S.-Japan cultural exchange as we revisited Rutgers’ historical encounters with Japan. Students took part in building this website as they posted their works over the course of the semester.
