The Evaporated - Gone with the Gods

What if someone close to you just ... vanished one day? That happens to tens of thousands of families a year in Japan, and it happened to Jake Adelstein, too, back in 2018 - when his accountant disappeared, just before tax day.

This podcast will take listeners on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan's johatsu, or "evaporated" people.

Jōhatsu, literally “evaporation” is the Japanese term for people disappearing without a trace. Salesman Tadashi Oshima is one of them. Director Shôhei Imamura, together with Oshima's fiancé Yoshie Hayakawa and actor Shigeru Tsuyuguchi created an investigative #documentary looks into this man, his possible whereabouts, and the others that are gone. 人間蒸発 [Ningen jôhatsu / A Man Vanishes] (1967) is a fascinating exploration of aspects of 1960s Japanese society that make jōhatsu distinct from similar, worldwide events.
