Japan, Explained
There’s a TV show in Japan
There’s a TV show in Japan that has run for over 30 years. The premise: a parent sends their two or three-year-old child on an errand. Alone. To the store. To buy tofu. Across actual streets. A camera crew follows secretly, hidden, never helping, as a tiny human in a backpack completes a task most countries wouldn’t let a child attempt. The kid cries. The kid forgets. The kid gets distracted by a dog. And then the kid comes home, holding the tofu, glowing. It’s the most-watched thing of its kind in the country. Americans who discover it cannot believe it’s legal. In Japan, we cannot believe it’s remarkable.
