The link above takes you to a recent exhibition of beautiful hand-colored photographs taken in Japan in 1863. (Please see the display below if the link does not work.) Visual storytelling is so compelling because it sends messages directly to the limbic portion of our brains, bypassing our prefontal lobes, which often act as censors. Images move us emotionally and not just intellectually.

Please respond to one or more of the questions below for this week’s forum:

– What did you learn from these images? Do you think it enhanced your understanding of the Edo era in Japan? What kinds of information can visual images provide us? What kinds of information can we NOT learn from photographs?

– Are visual images a reliable way to learn about the news? What are the benefits and drawbacks?
