About

The “non-professional” artist may be identified in a variety of ways—as folk artist, as amateur, as aficionados, etc.—but each makes up an important part of Japan’s traditional performing arts’ heritage. This online symposium and livestream event presented by the Hunter College Japanese Program will examine this oft overlooked group of players and consider the ways in which their activities contribute to a greater understanding of Japan’s traditional performing arts.
