'Silk'

It took a long time for me to recover from the blast of bullsh*t Orientalism that was "Memoirs of a Geisha." There were the usual symptoms: nausea, shaky hands and an attack of shudders every time I passed by the Oriental Bazaar on Tokyo's Omotesando avenue, among others.

Media jumped the gun as usual

The Dec. 14 shootings at a sports club in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, was sad and deplorable. The coverage of the TV media was just as bad. For almost 24 hours, some media repeated over and over again that the shooter was a "foreigner." Every time a gun is used in Japan the TV media seems to immediately...
