JSNW in collaboration with JETAA UK present our next event:
Court Ladies, Women Warriors, and Courtesans.
A talk by best-selling author Lesley Downer.
Please join us on
Saturday 1st March at 2:00 PM.
At The KROBAR Manchester M13 9PG. (325 Oxford Road)

“The history of Japan is often all about battles and warriors, samurai, and shoguns. But women also played a prominent role. I will talk about some of the extraordinary women in Japanese history, starting with Himiko the Shaman Queen and the powerful empresses of early Japanese history, all the way through to the militant feminists of the Taisho period, with of course lots of lovely illustrations.”

The event is £10 for Members and £14 for non-Members.
One Coffee, or one Tea, or a drink, is included in fee.
If you have any questions or are interested in attending, please get in touch at events@jsnw.org.uk.
You can bring one of her books, which she has agreed to sign. Also, she will be bringing a few copies of her new book, “On the Narrow Road,” to sell as well. Please bring cash if you want to buy a book.
Event Supported by The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
