To celebrate the 4th issue launch, the magazine’s contributing authors Toh EnJoe, Hideo Furukawa, Laird Hunt, Matthew Sharpe, founding editors Motoyuki Shibata and Ted Goossen, contributing editor, Roland Kelts will be coming to New York and have discussion events in various locations. Please come meet us!
Monkey Business International is the in-translation offspring of the Tokyo-based magazine Monkey Business, which was founded in 2008 by Motoyuki Shibata, one of Japan’s most highly regarded men of letters. MBI aims to translate and present a wide array of established and emerging authors, showcasing the best of contemporary Japanese literature.
The Japanese archipelago has long been full of geographical sites charged with particular significance in visual art, material culture, and literature. Known as famous places, or meisho, these fascinating micro-geographies continue to inspire complex appreciations of landscape owing to the thick layers of meaning they have accumulated over time. Professor Robert Goree, Instructor of Japanese Literature at Boston University, an authority on cultural geography in early modern Japan, leads us on a journey as he highlights works featuring famous places in Points of Departure. Followed by a reception.
This lecture is part of the exhibition-related programming for Points of Departure: Treasures of Japan from the Brooklyn Museum.
Tickets: $12/$8 Japan Society members
