The Headlines, This Week in Japanese History, and Much More
Interesting story. Since legally getting a gun or rifle in Japan is nearly impossible, the Japanese have to resort to other - often more gruesome - means to kill each other.
Great point. A friend took the gun licence test in Japan and failed, because he hadn't researched the mating patterns of wild boars enough!
So very Japanese!
As someone who used to translate video games, I had long wondered where アジト had come from. Thanks for resolving that mystery!
You're welcome!
I'm going to check out your Substack now :)
What a strange story! I came to Japan in 1983 and so I hadn’t heard about this. The various twists and turns you describe are unbelievable!
Thanks Kate!
It’s a bizarre one for sure. :)
