  • Edo Period Deep Dive - The long Peace Part 1

    Edo Period Deep Dive - The long Peace Part 1
    Feb 2 2026

    In this episode Mat and Devin embark on another multi-part epic about everything Edo, the long period of peace and isolation that still in many ways defines Japan to this day. In part one we look at the bones of the system introduced by the shoguns to run society, from poor but proud samurai, the emperor shut up away in luxury, and power through land, and rice of course!

  • New Year in Japan - Superstition, Family, and a lot of Firsts

    New Year in Japan - Superstition, Family, and a lot of Firsts
    Jan 23 2026

    This week Mat and Devin have a miniature time traveling mission all the way to three weeks ago, as we delve into the traditions and history of New Year in Japan.

    We explain the entrenched TV traditions, the symbolic, traditional foods that suspiciously resemble dad jokes, and the most expensive fish in the world.

  • Japanese Castles - Stone, Wood, Violence and Aesthetics

    Japanese Castles - Stone, Wood, Violence and Aesthetics
    Jan 14 2026

    First of all apologies for the long delay! We had a busy run in to the Christmas/New year holidays with work and then family commitments, but we're back and we've got a special episode on castles to get right back into it!

    We take you through the history and design of these magnificent structures, from early simple hill forts to the majestic, later warring states beauties. Learn all about how and why they were constructed, and maybe gain a few tips on the best one's to go and visit if you come to Japan, including Devin's very own Matsumoto, barely a mediaeval cannon shot's distance from his house!
