Frederik Schodt Interview in the Japan Times

Edan Corkill, in the Japan Times January 6, 2013, has an interview with Frederik I. Schodt "Japan's pop culture ambassador to the world".

“I've always been interested in what you might call 'lost histories' — people who fell through the cracks, eccentric characters who in some unusual way contributed to early communication between America and Japan. That is the territory I mine." says Schodt.

SWET published the news item on Schodt's latest book, Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe in October 2012.
