In this episode, we speak with writer, professional Japanese translator and interpreter, and amateur historian, Noah Oskow, about a recent article he wrote for Unseen Japan called “The Otsu Incident,” which relates the attempted assassination on Nicolas II in Otsu City, just outside of Kyoto, in 1891. Noah has lived, studied and worked in Japan for nearly seven years, including two years studying at Sophia University in Tokyo and four years teaching English on the JET Program in rural Fukushima Prefecture. Noah is currently working on his Masters Degree in Global Studies at the University of Vienna in Austria.The Deep in Japan Podcast is completely independent and crowd-funded.
