> century Japanese literary and visual culture. The symposium begins  
> with
> Edo-period print culture and kabuki theatre, examines prewar  
> literature,
> analyzes newsreels and popular visual materials from World War II  
> through
> the Occupation period, and finally concentrates on Occupation-period
