Kyoko Omori
Kyoko Omori
Assistant Professor of Japanese Kyoko Omori was one of six invited presenters for the Modern Japan History Workshop at Dartmouth College on Dec. 15. The workshop focused on the idea of Japan's middle class, examined from the perspectives of historical, anthropological and literary studies. 

Omori's paper discussed the work of Tokugawa Musei, a benshi, or silent film narrator. This tradition of oral art thrived during the early 20th century. In particular, she addressed the function of parody in Musei's detective fiction writing and its relation to middle class culture.
