Security Studies Program Seminars

Pirates of Japan: Kaizoku and Maritime Traffic on the Seto Inland Sea

Community Conversations Seminar Series

Co-hosts : Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS)
 
YCAPS, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), and PLAT ABC are thrilled to announce our next event in Iwakuni. Come join us for a presentation on the history of pirates in Japan, with a focus on the nearby Seto Inland Sea. The role and character of pirates differ across regions and eras through history. Although “kaizoku” is often translated to “pirates” in English, pirates and kaizoku are not the same. Like samurai and ninja, kaizoku have a uniquely Japanese history. Mr. Ken Tanaka will teach you about local Japanese history through kaizoku and spread the love of kaizoku around the world.

Families/kids are welcome. We will have a side area for the kids with fun activities provided by the kind staff at PLAT ABC. There will also be free food and refreshments provided.

Due to limited space, please register on this page for the event.

*Please kindly note that this is an in-person event taking place in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It will not be streamed online.
