In today's episode, we shine a spotlight on the evolving dynamics of gender in Japan, drawing inspiration from NHK's latest morning serial drama, 'The Tiger and Her Wings'.
Based on the remarkable true story of Yoshiko Mibuchi, Japan's pioneering female chief justice, this six-month drama offers a poignant reflection on the challenges and triumphs of women in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
As we explore Yoshiko's journey and the societal context of her time, we'll also examine a recent court case that highlights the enduring influence of traditional gender perceptions in Japan.
Join us as we navigate through history, culture, and contemporary issues to gain deeper insights on Japan!
