My latest newsletter is up! When it comes to Japanese poetry, or any great poetry, the surface is only the beginning. So I took a deep dive into the role a certain poem plays at the end of Shogun. Mild spoilers: blog.hirokoyoda.com/p/the-art-of-i…

Had a bit of deja vu walking through Shibuya Station to the Toyoko line yesterday, and sure enough: it's the spot we filmed in 2017 for the "Urban Renewal" episode of Japanology Plus!

My second newsletter just dropped! It's about nonverbal communication in Japan, using examples from "Shogun." These moments are so subtle that you blink and you miss them, but they convey lots of cultural information. blog.hirokoyoda.com/p/the-shogun-c…

There are many pretty adjectives in Japanese to describe weather, and Hanabie is one. It literally means the return of the cold after the blossoming of flowers, and is only used during sakura season. Like today, which is cold and gray in Tokyo.

I am excited to announce I have launched a newsletter! I plan to cover all sorts of Japanese culture in fun ways for audiences abroad. My first post is about the 600 degree rule, which determines when cherry blossoms bloom. Please subscribe!　blog.hirokoyoda.com/p/the-600-degr…

If you're a fan of Phoenix Wright, the Final Fantasy series, or Toriyama's manga, this is a big ep -- @aokajiya worked on all of them!

What a coincidence -- I saw a kosode on display today😃! The white one is underwear, as worn about a thousand years ago. Kosode evolved into colorful outwear, and those are the kind that the innkeeper in ep.6 of Shogun was referring to.

Interesting translation in Shogun ep.6. English often refers to all traditional women's wear as kimono, but there are actually many styles, of which kosode are one. Once a kind of underwear, they evolved into outerwear. It's nice seeing words like this get traction abroad.

I ordered a dessert set of a chocolate French toast with espresso ice cream and a cream soda. I couldn't believe I finished them both. It certainly made me feel like a teenager.
