EXPLORE THE TIES OF TWO ANCIENT EMPIRESBy Peter Bol and Andrew Gordon

China and Japan have been connected for 1500 years through language, religion, tradeand the organization of politics and society. The square layout of Chang’an, the greatcapital of medieval China, became the model for the capitals of Nara and Kyoto.Chinese schools of Buddhism found a welcome in Japan, and a stream of officials,merchants, and monks moved between the two lands. We will visit the great buildingsand gardens that commemorate these early exchanges and see for ourselves the manyways in which they are connected still today. In modern times, the cultural and powerflows shifted, as modernizing Japan of the late 19th century became a model for–and athreat to–late imperial China. Tokyo and Shanghai will serve as locations to explorethese more recent interactions.

Yet for all these strong ties, the two countries have remained distinct; their culturaltrajectories have diverged. Japan maintained a single unbroken imperial line while thegovernment changed; Chinese history was broken by dynastic change and foreigninvasion. In daily life, nowhere is the difference more evident in a way we canappreciate than in the cuisines of Japan and China, which we intend to sample everyday of the trip. This tour is a chance to explore how two great cultures have developedfrom ancient times into the present. We will learn how and why they have diverged,what they have gained from each other, and how they continue to challenge andcompete with each other in peace and war of modern times.
