About the blog

visual gonthros
My students write entries every week for their visual anthropology photo-journal blogs. See how they describe and visualize Japanese culture. I provide visual anthropology resources and experiment with the visual representation of Japan. Comments and questions - for students and myself - are especially solicited.
