The whole world knows that modern Japanese culture is a blend of old and new, of East and West. But while we might think of this blending as something that has simply happened, it has been, from the beginning, a deliberate process: individuals decide which parts of traditional Japan to retain, which Western trends to embrace, and where to skillfully fuse the two into something entirely new. This edition of Japanology Plus tracks a group of people engaged in this process, specifically in terms of music.
