Japan Society
The Japan Society is an internationally recognized nonprofit, nonpolitical organization that provides access to information on Japan, offers opportunities to experience Japanese culture, and fosters sustained and open dialogue on issues important to the U.S., Japan, and East Asia.
The website features a Topics section that includes information on Theater, Social Issues, Business, Dance, Art, Cinmea and Popular Culture. In addition the website contains information about Programs for Teachers and Students and has image galleries that may be useful for classroom use. The most relevant feature for classroom teaching and learning is the section titled, About Japan: A Teacher's Resource (http://aboutjapan.japansociety.org/). The site provides "...educators and specialists in Japan Studies a space for sharing, discussing and developing teaching ideas and resources about Japan." Resouces include essays, lesson plans, and historical documents organized around a theme.
The link to the Japan Society is also available from the Library homepage in the History section under the Asia tab.
