Episode 634 - The Catastrophe, Part 2
About this episode
This episode discusses the violent aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake and its implications for the Japan-Korea relationship.
This week: in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake, thousands of Koreans living in Tokyo were massacred by angry mobs as well as policemen and soldiers. What animated the survivors to engage in such horrific violence, and how does it reflect both the wider history of the Japan-Korea relationship and the mindset many of us carry into our darkest moments? Note: no new episode next week, as I'm traveling in Japan. Show notes here .
