Japan's Sakoku Defense Against English

Fee (One-Day members): 1,000 yen
Prefecture: Tokyo
City: Tokyo
Venue: Sophia University (JR Yotsuya Stn), Kioi Building, room 108
Description: If English endangers Japanese language and culture, how can Japan defend against it? In Japan the defense against English is subtle: a technique perfected in the centuries since Admiral Perry's rude entrance. Modern sakoku technique involves seeming to embrace a foreign thing while subtly defeating it. The talk focuses on Japan's defenses against English and on the efforts of foreigners to overcome the defenses.
