Hello, everyone. As I mentioned at the end of last week's episode, there's no new episode this week,

as I'm on vacation with my family. However, that doesn't mean you're going without content.

The following is a crosspost of an episode from my other podcast, which I do with my wife,

Criminal Records. This particular episode focuses on an interesting bit of legal history from the mid-Magy period,

so if that sounds like it could be your cup of tea, definitely take a look and see how you like it.

And if you do like it, consider checking out the rest of the podcast, which is Criminal Records

podcast.

You can find out more about it on the podcast network website, facingbackwards.com.

So, without any further ado, here is the fascinating story of the Chishima incident.

... of the Chichima incident. This is Demetcher Spinrat.

And this is Isaac Meyer.

And you're listening to Criminal Records Podcast,

a podcast where we talk about some of the weirdest cases in true crime history. That's right. And oh boy, do I have a weird one for

you, though it's not technically a criminal case. We're taking our first, I think, foray into the

wonderful world of civil law today. I'm very excited about this one because I believe this is a case specifically about the

absence of a law that would be considered a criminal in the United States.

And I'm very excited to talk about the legal code we're going to talk about today.

Oh, let me tell you, it's going to get real wild.

And, you know, as is not at all surprising for me, since I feel like every episode I do is

either this or Jewish history, we're going to do a little bit of Japanese history today.

All right.

So, as someone who's covered a lot of Japanese history in your day, give me exactly the place and time we're talking about today.
