Meiji Literature and Japan’s Most Famous Literary Cat

In this episode, we’re looking at the Meiji Era of Japanese history and its literature.

• The shogunate is replaced.
• Japan looks outward to the West and inward toward itself.
• And a man named Natsume Sōseki chronicles it all from the perspective of a stray cat.
