intro.

I love British literature. I love Japan. I love British literature that exists in Japan; therefore I would like nothing more than to explore how Shakespeare is received and adapted in Japanese culture. 
My exploration of The Bard in Nihon will consist of me watching movies from the legendary filmmaker Akira Kurasawa, among other Japanese directors, and analyzing the various interpretations of Shakespearean plays in Japan. I will also be looking at traditional Kabuki plays to find elements of Shakespeare that are used.
