20 APR 2021 · Is Japan a strict country to live in? In our original loose vs strict episode we looked at Michele Gelfand’s paper on the looseness and stictness of countries’ social and cultural mores. Going from the broad to the particular, this time we look at the norms of Japanese and American interpersonal relationships, workplace relationships especially, and analyze the rules of interaction and behavior.

18 JAN 2021 · A history of tattooing and a culture that shuns it collides on the isolated island of Japan. We talk the art of hoshizumi, yakuza full body tattoos, law, modern Japanese tattoos, and the idea of a private art not shown to others.
14 JAN 2021 · We're finally back after a long winter break and this week is all about fashion: Harajuku fashion. What's with all the colors? Why is it so weird? What is Lolita fashion? How do they compare to gyarus? What the heck is going on? Join us as we try and break this thing down
