If you know who Nobusuke Kishi is but don't know who Shigeru Yoshida is then you don't know post-war Japanese history, you just know a podcast episode.

I generally like BtB but this is an example of how pop history can lead to bad misconceptions. So many people just go "yeah I know post-war Japanese history, I listened to that one podcast on Kishi."

I'm not necessarily comparing them on moral grounds, I mean that people seem to be under the misconception that Kishi was a dictator installed by the US after the conclusion of the war. Kishi probably wished that he was as powerful as Rhee actually was.

There's something about Nobusuke Kishi that makes people's brains melt. The guy was certainly an ass but people treat him as if he was the Japanese Syngman Rhee.

Attention, fellow bibliophiles! Have yourselves a peek at several of Shoyeido's beautifully packaged 'The Tale of Genji'-inspired incense fragrances!

We've been touting our Genji-themed incense for a few weeks because 'Classics Day' in Japan is Nov. 1.
