Join us for a "Guerrilla" Salon with Michael Penn, Tokyo's leading independent political commentator, as he analyzes Japan's 2021 State of Emergency.

Date : January 24

Time : 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Venue : Zoom

Fee : ¥2,000 for DN members, ¥5,000 for non-members

In this crucial discussion, Michael Penn will contrast the current, more stringent lockdown under Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga with the 2020 State of Emergency led by his predecessor, Shinzo Abe. With Suga's approval ratings plummeting and the country facing a leadership vacuum, Japan's "ship of state" is sailing blind.

This is a must-attend event for anyone seeking to understand what lies ahead for Japan's economy. As the founder of the influential news agency SNA, Dr. Penn is one of the most authoritative voices on Japanese politics. Don't miss this opportunity for critical insights into Japan's future.

This is a hybrid event with in-person and Zoom options. The speaker will be presenting via Zoom.
