For our final research project, I decided to look into our novel's namesake: Pachinko! While the game is present throughout the book, it wasn’t a main character, and I decided a research excursion could help me establish some theory as to why Min Jin Lee chose it as the title to her novel. In my excursion, I researched the history of the game, the psychology behind it, and the cultural significance it has today in terms of addiction and legislation. Enjoy!
