This course is designed to give a basic level of knowledge on the main aspects of modern Japanese society and culture. The aim is twofold: first, to present modern Japan as it might be seen by the Japanese themselves, in hope that the student might learn to perceive Japanese society and culture from a Japanese point of view, and; second, to introduce some of the minute details -- the intricacies -- of everyday life in Japan which the student might not be aware of, yet which will help him or her to better understand and experience the ways of Japan.
