Ukiyo Explained

Japan explained through ukiyo-e.
Untranslatable words, unspoken rules, and the feelings Japan has a name for.

Each episode takes one Japanese word or social habit and unpacks it in about three minutes — told entirely through ukiyo-e woodblock prints. No presenter, no stock footage.
Just the art and the idea.

Episodes are grouped into seasons of five:

We also run Japan at Work, a short series on business etiquette for anyone working with Japanese colleagues.

New episodes every week.
