Webinar: The "Japanese Turn" in the Art, Architecture and Cuisine of Europe and the United States (Online)

Over the last 40 years, Japanese cuisine has had an oversized influence on fine dining in the United States. Chefs cooking at celebrated American restaurants are now freely using Japanese ingredients, condiments, culinary techniques, and concepts, and the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, the leading culinary school in the country, now offers a concentration in Japanese cuisine. This lecture hosted by Japan Society will describe in some detail this “Japanese turn” and argue that this contemporary culinary movement toward Japan is comparable to the Japanese influence on European and American art and architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries and may be another important Japanese moment in American cultural history.
