Thanks
for dropping by again this week for another Japan Considered Podcast.
This week we continue to consider the problems the Abe Cabinet seems to
be having with public approval ratings. And the various causes of those
problems.
We also consider DPJ leader Ichiro Ozawa's decision
to organize an opposition party boycott of Lower House supplementary
budget debate over Health and Welfare Minister Yanagisawa's description
of Japan's mothers as baby-making machines.
Then Dr.
Kristina Troost of Duke University joins us to describe the excellent
website she has created to provide convenient access to all kinds of
on-line resources on Japan. This is one of the very best Japan-related
websites on the net.
And, as usual, we close with a heart-warming bluegrass clip, this from the Original Seldom Scene. |
