Brian Steininger studies the reception of Chinese textual culture in premodern Japan through the lenses of literary form, social practice, and media history. His first book, (Harvard University Asia Center), examined the social life of Sinitic verse and parallel prose in tenth and eleventh-century Japan, demonstrating how classical genres were reshaped in response to practices of exchange and ritual performance.
