Maiko Tajima

Maiko Tajima sits in Japan's House of Councillors, born in 1976, educated at the University of Oxford. That last detail is the one everyone reaches for, and I want to resist the easy reading of it. A degree like that is a passport out of Japanese domestic politics as much as into it, so choosing the Diet means choosing committee rooms, constituency work and a schedule that grinds. Beyond those few lines I have very little to go on. Her record here does not even list a hometown, so I am not going to pretend to a portrait I cannot support. What I will say is that politicians are not usefully judged by their credentials or their star signs. The measure is what actually moves during a term in office, and in her case that story is still being written.
