TV-serien "Shogun" tar -- återigen -- världen med storm, precis som förra versionen gjorde 1980. Liksom även romanen "Shogun", skriven av den brittisk-australiske författaren James Clavell (1975), som sålts i många miljoner exemplar. Det sägs att ingen populärkultur påverkar västerlandets bild av Japan och Ostasien lika mycket som Shoguns svärdsviftande samurajer från år 1600. Men hur kan denna bild beskrivas? Vad är egentligen "Japan" -- inom citationstecken -- i Shogun och annan modern västerländsk populärkultur? Vi samtalar med docent Tobias Hübinette, expert inom forskningsfältet "Asien studies". Musik i avsnittet: "Haunting Violin" samt "Merciful", av Gruber.
