肩書きのない名刺 (中公文庫 M 239)

Ichirō Mikuni

A collection of essays in which Ichiro Mikuni, long active in broadcasting, writes lightly about encounters, work, and ways of seeing everyday life. It values character and lived experience over titles, conveying the texture of Showa-era life and media culture in an approachable voice.

Work Information

The book draws out the interest of people who cannot be reduced to their titles, from broadcasting rooms and everyday Showa life.

Katagaki no Nai Meishi is a collection of essays by Ichiro Mikuni on the people and events he encountered through work and daily life. Broadcasting, conversation, small frictions, and sudden realizations are shaped into concise pieces that reveal the flavor of people beyond formal titles. The book carries the memory and observation of a narrator steeped in Showa-era media culture, with a gentle sense of humor.

Review Summaries

  • Readers respond to the way brief essays accumulate into a portrait of broadcasting experience and Showa-era values. Though rooted in another time, the writing remains accessible, with appeal in its careful attention to people and incidents.

  • 今川義元を演じた人

    「放送タレント」という奇妙な肩書きで、司会者的な人だが大河「太閤記」で今川義元も演じたという不思議な人で、学識もあった。エッセイストクラブ賞受賞作だが、どうもいま一つ面白くない。人柄がいいのはよく分かるんだが、テレビの当時に関心がある人には面白いだろう。
