We shout irasshai!! to translator, writer, and hardcore yokai fan Zack Davisson as he joins the Popzara Podcast to chat about his English translation of manga master Shigeru Mizuki’s illustrated version of Kunio Yanagita’s Tono Monogatari, perhaps the most important – and certainly most popular – text on the history of Japan’s considerable monsters, myths, and legends.
But that’s not all: Popzara favorite Kevin, from YouTube’s StoryDive, gets a welcoming tadaima!! as joins our own Nathan Evans and Zack on a highly educational (and highly entertaining) look at what it was like helping bring one of Japan’s most popular historians (comic or otherwise) to a wider audience, being called a modern Lafcadio Hearn, and the pressures of creating the first English translation of Mizuki’s mammoth Showa: A History of Japan.
