The Man Who Taught Mishima How to Swim

2
In this episode, Ken Nishikawa introduce to the world Café Bonnet — a tiny, resolutely unreconstructed junkissa tucked down a side alley in the seaside resort town of Atami — and tells the story of its remarkable owner, Hiroshi Masuda, who introduced American hamburger to Japan and served to Japanese literary giants two decades before McDonald's knew Japan existed. Along the way: Yukio Mishima's secret swimming problem, Toshiro Mifune in light disguise and a mother who was a geisha. Also: why a French hat became the name of postwar Japan's most improbable cultural institution. Post-Whatever is a dry, unhurried talk show about Japan, culture, and the things that fall between the cracks of official history. Hosted by Ken Nishikawa — composer, broadcaster, filmmaker, and occasional resident of places with too many hot springs.
