This course aims to understand the evolution of the book as a recording medium in Japan in terms of content and form, and to clarify how people came into contact with books by referring to picture scrolls and other materials. The course also examines how the common people of Japan in the Edo period interacted with books, using the iconography of book-reading as a clue. In addition, the historical development of printing technology, which has supported the production of books, will be reviewed, and how the act of reading could be changed by AI will be discussed.
