Camp Gagnon

What is up, campers? Gather ’round the campfire because today we’re heading deep into the culture, history, contradictions, and hidden rhythms of Japan with Joshua Walker.

We kick things off with Shohei Ohtani and the question of whether he’s already the GOAT, before diving into the ideas that have shaped Japanese society for centuries—from Miyamoto Musashi and emotional discipline to the differences between rice-based collective cultures and the more individualistic societies of the West.

Joshua opens up about his childhood in Japan, what it feels like to be American inside Japanese culture, and why everyday traditions—from sleeping on the floor to removing your shoes in the genkan—reveal something much deeper about sacred space, expectations, and community.

We also explore Japan’s complicated relationship with immigration, Shintoism, the origins of the kamikaze, Imperial Japan, and how Japanese schools teach the events of World War II.

From there, we get into what is lost when Japanese ideas are translated into English, the influence of Donald Trump and Japanese MAGA movements, Japan’s unique geography, and the fascinating business relationship between Japan and the United States.

And somehow, we finish with the Unitarian Church and a Japanese chocolate called “White Lover.”

This is a wide-ranging conversation about samurai philosophy, WWII, modern Japanese culture, and what the West often misunderstands about Japan.
