Much like John Blackthorne, the British sailor in Shōgun, I recently returned home from an epic sojourn in Japan. I wrote down some notes from my journey through Tohoku, the northern reaches of Honshu. I sipped sublime sake, relished the serenity of the satoyama, and ate an obscene amount of wagyu. Very few issues with meddlesome Portuguese priests. The first installment covers Fukushima and Yamagata. A travelogue through Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, and Akita is coming soon.

Ramp made a real Broadway musical starring Billy Porter, Billy Zane and Jessica Billy Vosk.
It’s a show about bills. By Bills. Starring Bills—with original songs, full choreography, and an actual Broadway playwright.
In the 1950s and ’60s, America’s biggest companies staged lavish musicals about cars, appliances, and soda. Somewhere along the way, we lost our nerve.
We’re bringing back the industrial musical.
One night only, September 25, at the Broadhurst Theatre.
