Hi my name is Luka Iwaki and I’m a history major. I fell in love with the history of China when I read Sima Qian’s The Records of the Grand Historian in grade seven. Ever since then, the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period became my primary interest, especially the castles and its structures. Jumping about 2 millennial later in the historical timeline, I never had the chance to learn about China’s history in the 20th century, so I’m very interested to learn about it through the perspective of art. My hobby these days are reading Haruki Murakami novels while listening to Mahler and Bruckner’s symphonies.

Sounds amazing. How inspiring, to have a teacher that had you read Sima Qian in 7th grade! I’ll be teaching Arts of China in the fall…we can spend more time looking at the archaeology of the Warring States if you can take the class!
