Girls at FestivalKarin Muller: Japanland: A Year in Search of the WA
Monday, September 27, 2010, 7:30 pm

Buy Tickets to Japanland - Monday, 9/27
Buy Tickets for Parking - Monday, 9/27

Please note: Due to President Barack Obama's speech on Library Mall on Tuesday, September 28, the Wisconsin Union Theater is canceling the scheduled 7:30pm screening of Japanland. Security related to the President's visit will close a large area near Memorial Union, making it incaccessible to audience members. Those who have bought tickets to the Tuesday screening will be contacted by the Box Office to make an exchange for Monday's screening or arrange for a gift certificate.


Take an action-packed and entertaining journey into the Japan that few outsiders get to see. Gain access to the many unique and sometimes obscure subcultures of Japan, including sumo wrestlers, swordmakers, geishas, Buddhist monks, and even the now-iconic workaholic, career-track salary-man.
Japanland provides a rare glimpse behind the “tatemae,” or external image, to see the “honne,” or true inner character of Japan.

Please note: Due to space limitation there will be no Travel Adventure dinner before Japanland. Please enjoy a meal at the Rathskeller or Lakefront on Langdon on that evening.
