Just saying, it isn't a surprise given those factors. No need for the snark.
Japan has three times the population of Canada and is a major global destination for skiing and snowboarding. Japan is also the snowiest country in the world, fyi.
Maybe try giving the one before this a try
thanks for this simon
Be sure to cap off the night with Charms of the Night Sky!
You probably saw it, but they put this one on a t-shirt at UNIQLO a few years back. I was surprised they didn't just default to Point of Departure.
Coincidentally, I also listened to this yesterday. I was apparently in the mood for endless renditions of Surrey with a Fringe on Top, so I cycled between this, Miles, and OP and then ended up listening to Porgy & Bess albums all night.
I spend a lot of time with Bill these days...
You watch the youtube interview 私が共産党員から保守系言論人になった理由〜藤岡信勝〜 yet?
Congratulations, Kurtis. Olomouc seems like such a cool place to live, and there is so much to explore in the broader region! I am sure you will love it.

Jazz flute is so underrated.
My first article, which critiques the adapatation-resilience development paradigm by tracing its genealogy to prewar Japanese labor science and its influence on everything from austerity policies to anti-air conditioning, is now OA on cssh.

The drums on Frelon Brun off this are probably my favorite in all of Jazz. Wonder what your favorite Williams performance might be?
Super excited to see this brilliant and incisive critique of resilience discourse in print soon!
Not an Ian Morris fan, I take it.

This reminds me I'm long overdue to read Hudson's "Conjuring Up Prehistory: Landscape and the Archaic in Japanese Nationalism."
Next Monday!!!
Check out my book at the @ucpress.bsky.social booth at @asianstudies.org in Columbus!
the dobb-sweezy debate mirrored the existing two "opposing camps in" Japanese history
otsuka-school = dobb, unoists (by extension ronoha) = sweezy

whatever one might think of the 'asiatic mode of production,' perry anderson's criticism of it is quite underwhelming
As a horse historian I wish you could read this book! An excellent account of the contradictions between military procurement of horses and horses as agricultural instrument. Maybe possible to run one of his articles through google translate?

and for that reason it is important to grasp the fundamental character/logic of tokugawa as distinct from, say, english feudalism (capitalism emerging from within was the common understanding at the time), because it was those conditions that were inherited and reorganized underneath the new regime
Yes I understood! But the universal logic narrative is the reason so much ink is spilt on how Japan capitalism HAD TO HAVE emerged from "within" (because that's how history works!) whereas most Koza-ha see Japan as being forcefully integrated into the world system in the bakumatsu.
This is precisely what led these authors to argue for "feudal remnants," (almost a proto-articulation of the mode of production theory) as they didn't believe capital or any social structure had a universal logic like the Rono-ha, who insisted feudalism had to disintegrate for capital to be born.
It isn't like they don't use the term that gets translated as "feudal" (封建社会, actually a Chinese hist. derived term), but they are highly conscious about how this is differentiated by the particularities of Japan hist both domestically and at times of integration/disintegration via the world system
