SOLD OUT Learning about Yasukuni Shrine with Robert Dujarric
This event has been sold out. Thank you for your support. Learning about Yasukuni Shrine with Robert Dujarric, Director of Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies of Temple University Japan
Yasukuni Shrine has been drawing attention from in and out of Japan. But do we really know what it is about? Have we really thought about its meaning in our life?
Robert Dujarric, Temple University’s ICAS Director, will lead our tour with a focus on the Yushukan Musuem and take questions from participants. Mr. Durarric is a Harvard College class of 1983.
The event will start having lunch at a Chinese dumpling place天鴻餃子房, which is located across from the shrine. Food there is quite reasonable. You can pay as you go.
After lunch, we will move across the shrine to the Yushukan Museum where we will listen to Mr. Dujarric’s lecture. You may ask questions to Mr. Dujarric at will.
Children are welcome!
