Meiji at 150

Dr. Rebecca Corbett (University of Southern California) Corbett, Rebecca; Grunow, Tristan

Description

In this episode, Dr. Corbett infuses tea into the history of the Meiji Restoration, noting links between tea practice and the cultivation of femininity in the Edo and Meiji periods. We discuss changes in tea practice over the Edo and Meiji periods, the association of tea with Japanese “tradition,” and dilute essentialist ideas of the “Japanese-ness” of tea ceremony.
