Lecturer of Japanese, Noriko Mori-Kolbe, Ph.D., said the series is a great way to introduce campus communities to Japanese culture.
鈥淭he goal of the series is for those curious about or interested in Japan to have the opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture and society through film,鈥� Mori-Kolbe said.
