Yet, when you peel back the layers of the suit-and-tie and the sarong, you find two archetypes of fatherhood under siege—one crumbling from hyper-isolation, the other from hyper-expectation.

    Indonesia is currently 20–30 years behind Japan’s economic peak. As Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung become megacities, we see the dangerous import of Japanese social diseases.
