Week 1: West Met East
To start, we will focus on Japan’s first encounter with European books in the 16th century. Taking examples from the rare books collection in the British Library, Alessandro Bianchi of Oxford University’s Bodleian Libraries, Karen Limper-Herz of the British Library and Takahiro Sasaki of Keio University will talk about some of the earliest books printed with the European printing press in Japan. You will learn a lot about this significant historical period in book history.
