Tohoku earthquake and tsunami →. March 1, 2011. I’m doing a lecture on yokai, the supernatural, and the afterlife in Japan this week. Not really sure what I’m going to say yet, its a topic I’ve never considered in a lot of detail. But some of the photos are quite intriguing…. From the Shigeru Mizuki’s.

World Alcohol Consumption Levels. Host Club →. February 17, 2011. I am teaching a Japanese popular culture course this semester for the first time, and it is giving me a greater appreciation for the subject than I ever imagined possible. I’ve always been dismissive of popular culture as a subject of study, a position I am increasingly seeing as terribly myopic.

Honolulu’s “Tsukiji” →. Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. March 24, 2011.
