From the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and the Black Ships in 1853
to the historical election of America's first African-American
president, Japan and the US have looked at each other through
stereotypical lenses. This practice has led to serious problems across
the spectrum of the relationship: social, political and economic. If
misperceptions were commodities, each nation would have run a surplus.
Through the examination of woodblock prints, postcards (the internet of the 1890's), and contemporary political cartoons, the speaker takes the audience on a lively tour through history. Events such as Perry's arrival, the Road to Pearl Harbor, World War II, The Occupation, trade wars, and the current international situation are examined. The key premise being: historical observations that influenced domestic and international policy in the past remain with us today.
With the dawn of a new US administration and examination of US-Japan relationship, now might be a good time to travel retrospectively in order to place today's actions in perspective.
In partnership with the Japan American Society of Minnesota and the National Association of Japan American Societies
