  • Activity
  • Graphic & Image
  • Join to access all included materials

What do images tell us about history? Dress, setting, and actions all convey cultural norms, and in essence, give reference to historical time and place. Learners compare and contrast Kunisada's Actor with Flute in Snow to Hokuei's Musashi Drawing Two Swords. They discuss how the similarities and differences in each piece can be used to identify a historical time period.
