  • P.O.V. 19S Discussion Guide Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball a Film by Kenneth Eng
    n o s a e P.O.V. 19S Discussion Guide Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball A Film by Kenneth Eng www.pbs.org/pov P.O.V. n o s Discussion Guide | Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball a e 19S Letter from the Filmmaker NEW YORK, SPRING 2006 Dear Colleague, It started back in January of 2001 while we were working in India on the Projectile Arts documentary Take Me to the River, about a phenomenal Hindu gathering. We wanted to make another film with Projectile Arts that would bring an inspiring cultural experience to America. Surrounded by 20 million Hindu pilgrims at the world’s largest religious festival, the “Kumbh Mela,” our thoughts naturally turned to baseball (we both grew up in Boston as hopeless Red Sox fans). Ichiro Suzuki was about to become the first Japanese position player in Major League history. We were fascinated — the whole idea of Japanese baseball was so mysterious to many Americans, and we knew it could be a great window into Japanese culture. Director Kenneth Eng Of course, Ichiro’s first season in the Majors Photo courtesy of Kenneth Eng turned out to be one for the record books — on top of the personal achievements (the batting title, the Gold Glove, the Rookie of the Year award, and Most Valuable Player), Ichiro led his team to an American League record 116 wins. We discovered Robert Whiting’s book You Gotta Have Wa and learned for the first time about Japan’s National High School Baseball Tournament, known as the Koshien Tournament for its famous stadium.

    Drink local. Read local. BEER PAPER beerpaperla.com /beerpaperla #beerpaperla @beerpaperla VOLUME 4 | ISSUE 4 | SEPTEMBER 2016 | FREE! THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN Kevin Ashford of Figueroa Mountain Photo Credit: J North Productions In 2010, Jim (father) and Jaime Dietenhofer (son) opened a brewery in Buellton they called Figueroa Mountain. It was just on the other side of the 101 freeway from another brewery you might have heard of called Firestone Walker. At the time, I’ve gotta say my reaction was, “Why the Hell would anyone open a new brewery in the imposing shadow cast by FW?” My skepticism quickly evaporated as “Fig” immediately began racking up medals at the Great American Beer Festival and now, six years later, was just named 2016 Best Commercial Craft Brewery in the greatest brewing state in the country. With over 700 craft breweries in the Golden State, to be named the best at the California State Fair’s annual competition is no mean feat. It confirms what any beer drinker worth their hops and barley already knew – Figueroa Mountain is in no one’s shadow when it comes to brewing consistently world class beer.

And for many of the country’s youth, the sport has become a rite of passage, epitomized by the national high school baseball tournament known simply as “Koshien.” Four thousand teams enter, but only 49 are chosen to compete in the championship that grips the nation for two weeks every August. Following two teams and their dedicated coaches, Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball is the first English-language film to take Western viewers inside a world where baseball becomes a proving ground for life’s challenges. Only one team will win each year, but the quest to appear on the “sacred” dirt of Koshien Stadium is a life-changing experience for generations of Japanese youth. Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball opens up the world of Koshien by following the fortunes of two teams as they compete in regional games and then head for the 2003 tournament (the 86th annual games). Tennoji High School is a public school whose team is coached by a dedicated and self- effacing teacher, Masa-sensei, who becomes deeply involved in the lives and welfare of his students and their families.
