Root

The Japanese language is rich in words and expressions influenced by nature, history and culture. This episode focuses on words related to ne, or "root." Japan's agricultural history has inspired many unique expressions associated with roots. Today, many of them have also taken root in the business world. From his home in Kyoto Prefecture, poet and literary translator Peter MacMillan guides us through these words and the culture behind them.
