This week’s guest is Harry Wright, the founder of All Things Japan and the visionary behind a developing historical project titled The Black Ships: A Sea of Change. Drawing on his deep cultural fluency and a career as a retired U.S. Navy officer living in Japan, Harry is currently crafting a narrative that explores the 1853 arrival of Commodore Perry. This project aims to spotlight overlooked perspectives, including those of Black sailors and authentic Japanese voices, to tell a more inclusive story of this world-altering event. He is now seeking the right creative partners to help bring this historically grounded epic to life for global audiences. We’re excited to discuss how his real-world experiences are shaping this ambitious leap into historical storytelling.
