She, too, is one of the principals of the group Hiroshima, a songwriter and producer. Her heart is always with children, Mother Earth and dignity of all human beings. She has three solo CDs, “Spirit and Soul”, “The Way of Tea” (with Derek Nakamoto) and “Under the Stars”.

In music, the drums keep the beat, or the “heart” of the music. The keyboards, bass and guitar represent the body of the music, and the vocals embody the “soul”. The band Kokoro is a music group consisting of almost all Asian-Americans, and covers music from Motown to country, rock and pop; from the hits of the 60’s to current Billboard chart toppers. Though Kokoro has only been together a short time, individually the members of Kokoro have had the good fortune to work with many celebrities in the industry, including Gladys Knight, Jessica Simpson, Hi- roshima, and Gene Simmons, to name a few. Additionally, throughout their own individual careers, they have played high-level venues such as the Palladium, the Sunset Strip, the Fla- mingo Hilton Las Vegas and the American Music Awards.

  • Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices

    Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices

    Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices by Gunnella Thorgeirsdottir A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences School of East Asian Studies August 2014 ii iii iv Abstract In recent years there has been an oft-held assumption as to the decline of traditions as well as folk belief amidst the technological modern age. The current thesis seeks to bring to light the various rituals, traditions and beliefs surrounding pregnancy in Japanese society, arguing that, although changed, they are still very much alive and a large part of the pregnancy experience. Current perception and ideas were gathered through a series of in depth interviews with 31 Japanese females of varying ages and socio-cultural backgrounds. These current perceptions were then compared to and contrasted with historical data of a folkloristic nature, seeking to highlight developments and seek out continuities. This was done within the theoretical framework of the liminal nature of that which is betwixt and between as set forth by Victor Turner, as well as theories set forth by Mary Douglas and her ideas of the polluting element of the liminal. It quickly became obvious that the beliefs were still strong having though developed from a person-to- person communication and into a set of knowledge aquired by the mother largely from books, magazines and or offline. v vi Acknowledgements This thesis would never have been written had it not been for the endless assistance, patience and good will of a good number of people.

    ABOUT KIYOSHI, JAPANESE RESTAURANT Kiyoshi，清 which is used in the main icon of the restaurant’s logo is known asきよし in Japanese. True to its name, Kiyoshi’s main focus is to provide a light and wholesome meal for customers. Kiyoshi prides itself on fresh ingredients prepared using an innovative, contemporary approach. The restaurant specialises in inaniwa udon, a type of udon made in the Inaniwa area of Inakawa machi, Akita prefecture. Other highlights of Kiyoshi include sashimi, sushi, nabemono (Japanese hotpot), donburi, sake, tsukemen, yakitori and affordably priced bento sets. 01 COLD INANIWA UDON CU-1 Kiyoshi Japanese Restaurant is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Singapore specialising in inaniwa udon, a type of udon made in the Inaniwa area of Inakawa machi, Akita prefecture. This cream coloured udon is hand-stretched and is slightly thinner than regular udon, yet thicker than sōmen, or hiyamugi noodles. The most important part of the making process is the repeated hand-kneading technique which helps it to achieve its thin, smooth and delicate, melt-in-your mouth texture. The production of Inaniwa udon requires meticulous selection of ingredients and human effort, so they cannot be made in large quantities. Inaniwa udon used to be a delicacy for the privileged, however thanks to modern production techniques, it can now be enjoyed by everyone.

    Transformation of Japanese American Community Through the Early Redevelopment Projects

Many of the buildings in Little Tokyo were built at the turn of the century and devastated during the Second World War.
