JapanLab is a Digital Humanities project based in the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. We bring students and faculty together to create engaging educational video games about Japanese history, culture, and language for use in Japanese Studies classrooms. You can play our games, find lesson plans and resources for teaching, or learn about bringing the JapanLab framework to your institution. We believe that JapanLab offers an exciting and innovative model for Japanese Studies in the twenty-first century. By combining game design with faculty-guided research, the JapanLab model provides an intensive, hands-on learning experience in which students deepen their knowledge of Japan, build practical digital skills, and produce high-quality educational resources for use in the classroom.
