Interesting and unexpected

Exceptional material and a great lecturer!!

Great subject and helped solving the modern Japanese esthetic puzzles. But I think Robert Campbell is not well-prepared in this course as a narrator. If could just use half of the "emm" in the lecture, the videos will sorter for sure, but still watching him talking about something he loves is extremely fascinating.

The course is very interesting. It not only introduces the traditional Japanese art with its comments but also talks about the photos and postcards.

Thank you Professor Robert. I enjoyed this course a lot. I came with the expectation of learning more about japanese culture, history and art. This expected is partly met. Yet, I feel like this course is too short and lack of depth. In addition, perhaps it can stress and introduce more about how those pieces of paintings and poems had impacted the contemporary society of Japan so as to contextualize and signify those arts. Anyway, thanks for the course.

great lecture. I have learn so many for Japanese culture and history.

thx!

I love this course. Amazing content provided in very easy to understand lessons! I enjoyed every minute of it!!

I love this course!!!

Very interesting course! Great to start understanding Japanese art!

This course, presented by a very charismatic lecturer, opened a whole new literary world for me and provided me with a lot of inspiration for my photographic work. I went through all four modules in two weeks and ended up with more curiosity about the subject :)

Very interesting introduction to a subject I was very ignorant about!

Incrível, me ajudou muito com a minha pesquisa!

It has been very interesting. I've learned a lot about a topic that I do not know

Thank's!!!

i loved it! it was very detailed in terms of historical literature and photographic culture and the narrator really explained everything very well.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course, while at the same time learning a lot about the subject.

Good synopsis of the subject, accompanied by enough historical background information to understand the images and their captions. I only wish it would also provide a bit more philosophical and religious background.

the lecturer is knowledgeable and engaging. it greatly enriched my appreciation of japanese arts and culture. i highly recommend it.

Thank you! Brilliant course, very inspiring.

Thank you so much for this course! I had a great pleasure when I passed it.

Fantastic course and the teacher is so erudited. After the course, I want to have more MOOCS with this teacher. What an intellectual model this teacher is!

charming course, beautifully presented

I have learned more from this course than some whole degree programmes. Partly this is because Professor Campbell is the 'real thing' - an academic who invests himself in his interests. I imagine him in his serarch through antiquarian book and art shops - turning over photographs. He seems always to be thinking.Yet he has a great way of communicating.I will miss this course when it is finished.

Gives a deep and detailed image of the period. Helped a lot in my understanding writers of 19th cent in Japan.

I really enjoyed this course. I started out without knowing anything about Japanese Art and Literature in the 19th century and finished the course understanding quite a lot. I would like to follow up this course with others if possible, one area of interest to me is the art of Rakugo and how it developed and changed from the Edo period into the Meiji period.

Very interesting material; but the course was too short. I wish it could have provided more background material and explored more examples.
