In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This week: Miyazaki Manabu completes his transformation from son of a yakuza boss to a committed member of the Communist party. After all, it turns out those two groups have a surprising amount in common… Sources Miyazaki, Manabu. Toppamono: Outlaw,, Radical, Suspect. My Life in Japan’s Underworld. Trans. Robert Whiting. Images A recruiting poster for Minsei, the youth league of the Communist Party, from the early 1950s. Yamamoto Senji, the prewar communist whom Miyazaki Kiyochika had been friendly with.

This week: the start of a multi-part “modernized biography” intended to help us explore postwar Japan through the lens of a single, fascinating life. This episode is mostly focused on introducing our subject–Miyazaki Manabu–and his unique and fascinating circumstances as the scion of a small yakuza family. Sources Miyazaki, Manabu. Toppamono: Outlaw,, Radical, Suspect. My Life in Japan’s Underworld. Trans. Robert Whiting. Images Aerial view of Fushimi in August, 1945.

This week: what do we know about women and the wrong end of the law during the Tokugawa Period? Given the male-dominated nature of the feudal social order and the historical written record, what can we figure out? And what are the limits of that knowledge? Sources Walthall, Anne. “Devoted Wives/Unruly Women: Invisible Presence in the History of Japanese Social Protest.” Signs 20, no. 1 (1994) Bix, Herbert P. “Miura Meisuke, or Peasant Rebellion under the Banner of ‘Distress'”.

לפני 26 ימים

This week: outside of big urban riots, how did violence figure into the daily life of the Edo period? To answer this question, we’ll take a look at one particularly well-documented example: youth gangs in the area surrounding Sensoji in the shogun’s capital of Edo. Sources Takeuchi, Makoto, “Festivals and Fights: The Law and the People of Edo” and Anne Walthall, “Edo Riots” in Edo and Paris: Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era. Eds. James L. McClain, John M. Merriman, and Ugawa Kaoru. Images Depiction of Sensoji during the Edo period. The Kaminarimon and the main market area (now Nakamisedori) are to the right. Depiction of the Sanja Matsuri of 1838. You can see the mikoshi being boated around on the Sumida river. Artist’s rendering of the 1820 Sanja Matsuri. Nishinomiya Inari Shrine. Big parts of the shrine were built with “donations” that were “solicited” by youth gangs.…

This week, we cover the second and third of Edo’s three great riots in 1787 and 1866. How did samurai and commoners talk about these acts of mass violence? How was all this a manifestation of a sense of “street justice” among the masses? And what’s with the handsome young guy everyone keeps swearing was secretly behind the whole thing? Sources Takeuchi, Makoto, “Festivals and Fights: The Law and the People of Edo” and Anne Walthall, “Edo Riots” in Edo and Paris: Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era. Eds. James L. McClain, John M. Merriman, and Ugawa Kaoru. Walthall, Anne. “Devoted Wives/Unruly Women: Invisible Presence in the History of Japanese Social Protest.” Signs 20, no. 1 (1994) Images Depiction of a soup kitchen set up for charity in 1866. Measures like this provided temporary relief but couldn’t fix the shogunate’s core issues. Rioting in Edo as depicted by kawaraban in 1866. Ichikawa Danjuro VIII playing the aragoto-style lead of the kabuki play Shibaraku. Could roles like this have inspired all the talk of mysterious handsome youths leading the rioters? Ransacking of a rice warehouse in 1866.…

Episode 562 – You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Party, Part 1

לפני 6 weeks

This week: the first of three episodes on urban rioting in Tokugawa period Japan. This week, we’re covering the first two urban riots in the history of the shogun’s capital city. What drove the people of Edo to riot, and how did the shogunate respond to those challenges to its authority? Farmers appealing to a magistrate for tax relief–following the proper channels. A type of circular petition known as a karakasa renpanjou, or “umbrella circular.” The name comes from the circular signatures, intended to prevent one particular person from being singled out as an instigator or conspirator and punished for “riling up” the people. A chart of known riots or disturbances in the Edo period. White are protests by farmers; black in the cities. The mixed dots are full blown rioting. A map of Edo showing the location of Takama Denbei’s home (the red star). It’s right next to Edobashi; Nihonbashi is on the left side of the map. Depiction of the rioting in Edo in 1866. Unfortunately, because of strict censorship rules, we have no contemporary depictions of the earlier riots, which could not legally be discussed publicly. Sources Takeuchi, Makoto, “Festivals and Fights: The Law and the People of Edo” and Anne Walthall, “Edo Riots” in Edo and Paris: Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era. Eds. James L.

Episode 561 – The Otaku, Part 3

לפני 7 weeks

In the final episode of this series: how did “otaku culture” spread overseas when it was so stigmatized at home, and what can all this tell us about Japan in the post-bubble era? Sources Kinsella, Sharon. “Japanese Subculture in the 1990s: Otaku and the Amateur Manga Movement.” Journal of Japanese Studies 24, No 2 (Summer 1998) Eng, Lawrence, “Strategies of Engagement: Discovering, Defining, and Describing Otaku Culture in the United States” and “Anime and Manga Fandom as Networked Culture” in Fandom Unbound: Otaku Culture in a Connected World.

Episode 560 – The Otaku, Part 2

לפני 8 weeks

—

For our first episode of 2025: “otaku culture” as a phenomenon began to emerge, in part, as a reaction against the crass commercialism of postwar Japan. Yet now, it is entirely a part of the fabric of that commercialism. How did that happen? We’ll explore it by looking at two fascinating phenomena: the dojin market known as Comiket and the transformation of Tokyo’s neighborhood of Akihabara. Sources Azuma, Hiroki. Otaku: Japan’s Database Animals. Trans. Jonathan E. Abel and Shion Kono. Tamagawa, Hiroaki, “Comic Market as Space for Self-Expression in Otaku Culture” and Kaichiro Morikawa “Otaku and the City: The Rebirth of Akihabara” in Fandom Unbound: Otaku Culture in a Connected World. Ed. Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, and Izumi Tsuji. Images Meikyu, the dojin circle that founded Comiket, in 1978. Attendees at one of the early Comikets. Cosplayers from Space Battleship Yamato at Comiket 8. The entrance line for Comiket in 2016. Comiket in 2023;. Akihabara in the early postwar (either late 1950s or early 1960s, I think).

Our last episode of 2024 is also the first episode in a series on one of Japan’s most distinctive cultural phenomenons: otaku culture. This week: is the idea of being an “otaku” older than we think? Sources Azuma, Hiroki. Otaku: Japan’s Database Animals. Trans. Jonathan E. Abel and Shion Kono. Ito, Mizuko. “Introduction” and Izumi Tsuji, “Why Study Train Otaku?

Episode 558 – The Hack

לפני 11 weeks

—

This week, the story of an Edo period writer whose primary claim to fame was producing decent ripoffs of people far more famous and talented than him. What does a career like that tell us about the book market in premodern Japan–and more importantly about what we as people tend to look for in the things we read? Sources Hibbett, Howard S. “Ejima Kiseki (1667-1736) and His Katagi-Mono.” Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies 14, No. 3/4 (December, 1951) Fox, Charles E. “Old Stories, New Mode: Ejima Kiseki’s Ukiyo Oyaji Katagi.” Monumenta Nipponica 43, No 1 ( Spring, 1988) Johnson, Jeffrey. “Saikaku and the Narrative Turnabout.” Journal of Japanese Studies 27, no. 2 (2001) Hibbett, Howard S. “Saikaku and Burlesque Fiction.” Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies 20, no. 1/2 (1957) Aston, W.G. A History of Japanese Literature. London: William Heinemann, 1899. Images Page from Seken Musuko Katagi depicting wastrel young men partying. Theoretically, by the rules of kanzen choaku, they should be punished for this–Ejima didn’t always stick to that rule in his writing, though. Detail image from Yakusha Kuchijamisen, Ejima’s first published work. Page from Keisei Kintanki, the scandalous dialogue about the merits of heterosexuality and homosexuality that was so successful it blew up Ando and Ejima’s relationship.…
