Through their participation, students had been given the opportunity to explore their interest in Japan, which can now be shared with readers far and wide. I hope many will find these essays a joy to read, as I have. With sincere appreciation, Reiichiro Takahashi Ambassador and Consul General of Japan in New York I would like to offer my appreciation to the Japan Center at Stony Brook University and all of the students involved with this wonderful program. As a global company and proud sponsor of the essay competition, Canon has been delighted to engage with so many young people who have expressed how Japan has positively influenced their life in one way or another. We recognize the enormous importance of uniting cultures and opening the minds of those who are the future of our world. Congratulations to all of the students! Sincerely, Joe Adachi Chairman & CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. iv Preface The Japan Center at Stony Brook (JCSB) was established in 2003 to promote education and research in the study of Japan, Japanese culture and society, and the lives of both Japanese and Japanese-American people. JCSB Essay Competition is the first annual outreach program we conceptualized for high school and college students. Our objective was to offer them an opportunity to reflect themselves deeply, focus on some aspect of Japan, creatively connect it to their own lives, and write an original essay. The proposal was submitted to Canon U.S.A. in September 2004 and received renewable annual sponsorship starting in 2005, when the JCSB Essay Competition was officially launched. The first honorary judges were Mr. Kinya Uchida and Dr. Shirley Kenny, who were the President & C.E.O. of Canon U.S.A. and the President of Stony Brook University, at that time, respectively. Their roles were succeeded by Mr. Joe Adachi, Chairman & C.E.O., Canon U.S.A., Dr. Mark Aronoff, Vice Provost, Stony Brook University, Ambassador Shinichi Nishimiya, Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki, Ambassador Sumio Kusaka, and Ambassador Reiichiro Takahashi, Consuls General of Japan in New York. JCSB’s essay competition is open to everyone regardless of their experience of learning Japanese or visiting Japan. The theme is also wide-open as long as there is a connection between the author and some aspect of Japan. We have received 1,992 essays from 169 schools over the ten years. Each year, we discovered new perspectives, new concepts, and new ways of expression through this competition. This collection includes all award winning essays and selected Honorable Mention essays from the first ten competitions. It is JCSB’s sincere hope that these essays can help many people widen their horizon, learn about different values and viewpoints, appreciate diversity, cultivate international friendship, and become global citizens who can make the world a better place to be. The Japan Center at Stony Brook June 17, 2016 v Acknowledgments No words can express our appreciation to Canon U.S.A. and the Consulate General of Japan in New York for their generous support and warm encouragement. We are absolutely indebted to the late Mr. Kinya Uchida, who was the President and C.E.O. of Canon U.S.A. when we submitted our proposal back in 2004. Without his kindness, understanding, and trust in our capacity and mission, this essay competition would not have been a reality. This led us to institute the Uchida Memorial Award in 2013. This essay competition could not have continued until now without the support of Mr. Joe Adachi, Chairman and C.E.O. of Canon U.S.A. His willingness to encourage younger generations to broaden their horizons through this competition has been invaluable to us. Mr. Uchida and Mr. Adachi also served as an honorary judge for this competition. We also appreciate many senior administrators at Canon U.S.A., Mr. Dennis Amorosano, Mr. Richard Booth, Mr. Lee Farrell, Mr. Yukiaki Hashimoto, Mr. Mason Olds, Mr. William Reed, Mr. James Sharp, Mr. Toshio Tachibana, Ms. Ana Tavares, and Mr. Joe Warren, for presenting awards and for offering warm encouragement to the award winners. Kindest assistance offered by Ms. Debra Epstein, Ms. Elissa LiVecchi, Ms. Mindy Miller- Roesch, Ms. Emily Reynolds, Ms. Dawn Shields, and Mr. MikeVirgintino has been very valuable for us as well. We appreciate Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki, Ambassador Sumio Kusaka, Ambassador Shinichiro Nishimiya, Ambassador Motoatsu Sakurai, and Ambassador Reiichiro Takahashi, for offering the Consul General of Japan Special Award for each and every annual competition. We also appreciate them for serving as Honorary Judges starting with the 2010-2011 competition and for recognizing our top winners at their official residence starting with the 2011-2012 competition. The special recognition at the Ambassador’s residence with a formal luncheon created a once-in-a-lifetime precious memory for all invitees. Similarly, we are grateful to the Directors of Japan Information Center at the Consulate General of Japan, namely, Mr. Koichi Ai, Mr. Fumio Iwai, Mr. Yasuhisa Kawamura, Mr. Jiro Okuyama, and Mr. Akira Sugiyama, for presenting awards and for offering warm encouragement to the award winners. Thoughtful assistance provided by many consuls, including Ms. Noriko Iida, Mr. Toshihiro Kaneko, Ms. Kumi Matsumoto, Ms. Kanako Nozawa, and Mr. Hisashi Takashima, is very much appreciated as well. This program received support from many people at Stony Brook University. Dr. Shirley Kenny, the former President of Stony Brook University, read all award-winning essays, as an Honorary Judge, and congratulated their authors in person at every award ceremony until she retired. This tradition was continued by top administrators of Stony Brook University, Dr. Mark Aronoff, Ambassador Harsh Bhasin, Dr. Nancy Goroff, and Dr. James Staros. Special appreciation goes to the members of the Professional Education Program (PEP), in particular Mr. Charles Backfish, Ms. Patricia Dixon, Dr. Dorit Kaufman, and Ms. Lauren Kaushansky for their encouragement, assistance, and promotion of the competition through their networks. The contributions of the friends and members of the Japan Center at Stony Brook (JCSB) also deserve acknowledgement. The generous financial support from many people, in particular from Mrs. Toshiko Uchida, has been extremely helpful in enriching the program. Dr. Iwao Ojima and Ms. Yoko Ojima have been contributing to numerous crucial aspects of the operation and continuation of the program. Dr. Eriko Sato has been serving as the Organizing Committee Chair, overseeing all aspects of the operation. Dr. Sachiko Murata has been serving as the Chief Judge, guiding the two levels of screening. Our second- screening judges have been Stony Brook University’s faculty members: Ambassador Harsh Bhasin, Dr. Mary Diaz, Dr. Clifford Huffman, Dr. Richard Larson, Dr. Janis Mimura, Ms. Eva Nagase, Dr. Sheldon Reaven, Dr. Gregory Ruff, and Dr. Eriko Sato. Among them, our special appreciation goes to Dr. Clifford Huffman, who served for this function in every single competition thus far. Our initial screening judges are current or former educators in relevant fields, former JET (Japan Exchange Teaching Program) participants, and/or selected members of the Japan Center: Ms. Carolyn Brooks, Dr. Marlene DuBois, Ms. Jessica Fareri, Ms. MaryAnn Hannon, Ms. Melissa Rose Kavanah, Dr. Chiyoko Lord, Ms. Patricia Marinaccio, Ms. Joan Miyazaki, Ms. Eva Nagase, Dr. Francesca Nakagawa, Ms. Chikako Nakamura, Mr. vi Shingo Omori, Dr. Atsuko Oyama, Ms. Mitsuko Post, Mr. Gerard Senese, Dr. Eriko Sato, and Ms. H. Mae Sprouse. The evaluation and input provided by the judges in both groups have been most valuable. Furthermore, their warm interactions with each awardee in person during the post-ceremony reception has been truly meaningful for this program. The professional music performance and the raffle during the reception have been arranged by Ms. Yoko Ojima and Ms. Roxanne Brockner, respectively. The assistance provided by the intern students coordinated by Ms. Eva Nagase and Dr. Eriko Sato for the entire program is also acknowledged. Last but not least, we appreciate the teachers and administrators who encouraged their students to participate in this competition. They have broadened their students’ horizons greatly. vii JCSB Key Personnel Iwao Ojima Yoko Ojima JCSB President Board Member in Charge Eriko Sato Sachiko Murata Organizing Committee Chair Chief Judge viii Selected Essays 1 Selected Essays from First Competition (2005-2006) 2 My Japan Nora Micheva (Ward Melville High School) Imagine that amidst your normal life, you are teleported to a butterfly’s world. You live in harmony with the butterflies and you forget you were different. Years after you have left, you doubt if you were a butterfly, or it was just a dream. My two year butterfly dream started in the heart of the ancient city of Kyoto, Japan, where we moved from Bulgaria. As a mathematician my father obtained a research position in Kyoto University. Thus, not knowing the language or culture, I found myself in the fourth grade of a public Japanese elementary school. I could never imagine that in only two years Japan would become a part of me.

  • Lighting Features in Japanese Traditional Architecture
    PLEA2006 - The 23rd Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture, Geneva, Switzerland, 6-8 September 2006 Lighting Features in Japanese Traditional Architecture Cabeza-Lainez J. M, 1Saiki T. 2, Almodovar-Melendo J. M. 1, Jiménez-Verdejo J.R.2 1 Research Group KARMA, University of Seville, Spain 2 Theory of Design Division, University of Kobe, Japan ABSTRACT: Japanese Architecture has always shown an intimate connection with nature. Most materials are as natural as possible, like kaya vegetal roofing, wooden trusses and rice-straw mats (tatami). Disposition around the place, follows a clever strategy of natural balance often related to geomancy like Feng-Shui and to the observance of deeply rooted environmental rules. In this paper we would like to outline all of the former, but also stressing the role of day-lighting in architecture. Unlike Spain, day-lighting is a scarce good in Japan as the weather is often stormy and cloudy. Maximum benefit has to be taken of the periods in which the climate is pleasant, and a variety of approaches has been developed to deal with such conditions; latticed paper-windows (shôji), overhangs (noki) and verandas oriented to the South (engawa), are some of the main features that we have modelled with the aid of our computer program. The results have been validated by virtue of on site measurements. The cultural aspect of this paper lies not only in what it represents for the evolution of Japanese and Oriental Architecture but also in the profound impression that those particular lighting systems had for distinguished modern architects like Bruno Taut, Antonin Raymond or Walther Gropius and the contemporary artist Isamu Noguchi, a kind of fascination that we may say is lingering today.

  • My Year of Dirt and Water
    “In a year apart from everyone she loves, Tracy Franz reconciles her feelings of loneliness and displacement into acceptance and trust. Keenly observed and lyrically told, her journal takes us deep into the spirit of Zen, where every place you stand is the monastery.” KAREN MAEZEN MILLER, author of Paradise in Plain Sight: Lessons from a Zen Garden “Crisp, glittering, deep, and probing.” DAI-EN BENNAGE, translator of Zen Seeds “Tracy Franz’s My Year of Dirt and Water is both bold and quietly elegant in form and insight, and spacious enough for many striking paradoxes: the intimacy that arises in the midst of loneliness, finding belonging in exile, discovering real freedom on a journey punctuated by encounters with dark and cruel men, and moving forward into the unknown to finally excavate secrets of the past. It is a long poem, a string of koans and startling encounters, a clear dream of transmissions beyond words. And it is a remarkable love story that moved me to tears.” BONNIE NADZAM, author of Lamb and Lions, co-author of Love in the Anthropocene “A remarkable account of a woman’s sojourn, largely in Japan, while her husband undergoes a year-long training session in a Zen Buddhist monastery. Difficult, disciplined, and interesting as the husband’s training toward becoming a monk may be, it is the author’s tale that has our attention here.” JOHN KEEBLE, author of seven books, including The Shadows of Owls “Franz matches restraint with reflexiveness, crafting a narrative equally filled with the luminous particular and the telling omission.
