Japan News for the Holidays

There has been a slew of good Japan stories in the news recently. I share a few with you to peruse over the holidays.

The Tokyo art scene is covered in this article from Art and Antiques magazine. Although the article appeared in the October 2008 edition of the magazine, it just became available online recently.

The New Yorker features an in-depth look at cellphone novels in its latest issue.

And I was quoted in a piece by the Christian Science Monitor on the influence of Japanese pop culture around the world.

Happy reading and happy holidays from snowy Seattle!
