Welcome!
Pledge to a New Tomorrow is an online course in Japan’s books and history, but it’s also about democracy. If you like haiku, Murakami, or Japanese culture, you’ll like this; but also if you are curious how Japan opened to the world, industrialized, had and lost a democracy.
How do these things go together? A story does it, a five-day story about “you” in a world where democracy is no more. As authorities close in, will you risk it all for a new tomorrow?
