This idea of places where people of different walks “encounter each other” — or even better have something meaningful to do with each other, has an interesting role at a certain period of social change in Japan.

From a friend and colleague:

The author argues that the creation of “publics” was an important social innovation in getting around the codified barriers in an officially feudal society, de facto before it was possible de jure.
