The guest of the WORLD podcast was Jan Sýkora from the Institute of Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The associate professor is an expert on Japan, which we talked about in the podcast. You might associate this country with the hard work commitment that has made Japan the technological powerhouse that we know it to be. But is it still the case today? What toll has this lifestyle taken on Japanese society? It is no secret that contemporary Japanese society suffers from many ills, including population decline and economic crisis. However, as you will learn in the podcast, there is nothing simple about explaining Japan's development. It is a specific island nation that has a unique history behind it, including adopting social trends from other nations that have to some extent shaped Japan as it is today. Listen to the entire podcast, in which you will learn a lot about Japan's relations with the West, China and North Korea and discover various secrets of the Land of the Rising Sun.
