Join us to discuss some of the greatest classics of medieval Japanese literature, written by women authors!  

To kick off the year, we will be reading the classic Izumi Shikibu Diary by Izumi Shikibu, considered by many to be the greatest woman poet of the Heian period.

You may find a copy of the book here.
