Japan has had a long and enigmatic history, oscillating between the extremes of world isolation and global engagement over many centuries. We bring this fascinating series from the Great Courses (Mark Ravina, Emory University) to a close by focusing on post-WW2 Japan and its significant contributions to modern society. This presentation will include segments on Japanese Family Life, Japan’s Economic Miracle, Kurosawa and Ozu: Two Giants of Film, and The Making of Contemporary Japan. Toby Teorey is the current Vice Chair of the Elderwise Learning Council. He retired from the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan (Computer Science) and in retirement pursues his enduring love of world history, music, and culture.
