Kokoro - Soseki's Literary Conclusion to the Meiji Era

Episode 19 is all about Natsume Soseki's timeless novel, Kokoro. A study of isolation, guilt, love, and the struggle between traditional and modern Japanese values at the end of the Meiji Era, Kokoro continues to be read and loved by millions worldwide. I also talk true crime, contemporary art, and Japanese pizza.
