The comprehensive course “Thinking about Okinawa” is offered as a general course at Hosei University. This course is for undergraduate students, but the general public can also participate. Starting with Okinawa's history, I think about Okinawa from a multifaceted perspective, such as music culture, images, popular history, the relationship between immigrants and citizens, and Japan and China.
