Rooted in History: Traditional Japanese Villages Tues., May 8, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Japanese villages from tropical southern Okinawa to remote northern Hokkaido trace their history back—at least in legend—for more than a millennium.

These connections have led to the development of distinctive local foods, artistic products, musical forms, and dialects. In this illustrated lecture, art historian Robert Mintz highlights the special character of traditional villages and offers a taste of life as it has always been in rural Japan. Mintz is assistant curator of Asian art at the Walters Art Museum. Location: indicated on ticket. Tickets: Resident Members $25; Senior Members $22; Gen.
