Welcome to Asia! After turning in our final essay on Australia, I delivered a lecture on the concepts behind Shinto and Japanese Culture. Please see the powerpoint if you missed class. After walking through the Torii gates, students selected a Shinto Myth that they are to read and clearly understand for Homework- we began this in class. Japan Day 1
Homework: Read the one page Shinto Myth that you have selected.
