Tokyo JALT:

Japan's Sakoku Defense Against English

Date: Saturday, June 16th, 2001 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Marshall R. Childs

Description:
If English endangers Japanese language and culture, how can Japan defend against it? In Japan the defense against English is subtle: a technique perfected in the centuries since Admiral Perry's rude entrance. Modern sakoku technique involves seeming to embrace a foreign thing while subtly defeating it. The talk focuses on Japan's defenses against English and on the efforts of foreigners to overcome the defenses.
