Events such as yours promote better understanding of the Japanese culture and encourage the rich diversity that makes Silicon Valley, specifically Cupertino, a wonderful place to live and work. Your students and staff have continually shown their skill by training high quality, hard working artists. Their arrangements are so stunning they should be in a museum. These students serve as inspiration to all who care about and are influenced by the arts. In the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last year, I am sure that this event will inspire hope and faith in the determinative spirit of creation. Again, congratulations on your 42nd Anniversary and best wishes for continued success. Sincerely, Mark Santoro Mayor CONSULATE GENERAL OF JAPAN 50 FREMONT STREET, 23RD FLOOR SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94105 TELEPHONE: (415) 777-3533 FAX: (415) 974-3660 I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the Wafu School of Ikebana, California Chapter for its 2012 Flower Show. The Bay Area has a wealth of cultural diversity, and groups representing Japanese traditional arts help in so many ways to add to that richness. I commend the Wafu School of Ikebana, California Chapter for all their hard work in promoting Japanese culture through Ikebana in California for the past 42 years. The President of the Wafu School of Ikebana, California Chapter, Ms. Fusako Hoyrup, has pointed out the importance of the mutual appreciation that Americans and Japanese alike have for nature. Of course, the significance of nature in Japan and the United States can be seen in Ikebana, but it is also evident in our mutual love for cherry trees. This is an important year for Japan-US relations, as it marks the Japan-US Cherry Blossom Centennial where we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the cherry trees gifted to the United States by Japan. It is wonderful that we can use flowers and cherry trees as symbols to enhance our mutual friendship. Finally, I would like to commend all of you who have been a part of the Wafu School of Ikebana, California Chapter, whether you are a teacher or student, for your efforts, dedication, and commitment in promoting the beautiful art of Ikebana. Sincerely, Hiroshi Inomata Consul General of Japan 〒154東京都世田谷区桜新町1-21-13 財団法人 勅使河原 和風会 TEL 03 (3428) 8221 (代) FAX 03 (3428) 8222 Congratulations on the California Chapter 42nd Anniversary Flower Show! Among the many accomplishments by Chapter President Hoyrup and the members of the California Chapter over the years, the 42nd anniversary flower show will undoubtedly stand out as the biggest success of all. Chapter President Hoyrup, along with the members of the California Chapter and Mr. John Hoyrup, a great supporter of Wafu-kai Ikebana, have accomplished amazing things together. I believe that they will continue to give the joy of Ikebana to a countless number of people, regardless of nationality or language. Teshigahara Wafu-kai is extremely proud of Chapter President Hoyrup, all the members of the California Chapter, and Mr. Hoyrup, the only honorary Shukan of Teshigahara Wafu-kai. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the City of Cupertino and the Fremont Union High School District Adult and Community Education program, which have been very supportive of Wafu-kai. Please enjoy the Wafu-kai Ikebana Show to the fullest. Sincerely, Headmaster Wafu Teshigahara Juridical Foundation Teshigahara Wafu-kai Dear Friends & Visiting Guests, My students and I are deeply honored to present our “Autumn Spectacular” Flower Show at the Cupertino Quinlan Community Center. I am profoundly touched by how our Wafu School of Ikebana California Chapter has grown from a small group of students more than four decades ago, to more than 200 dedicated and artistically accomplished students. This all grew from a very modest dream I had years ago that there should be a forum for anyone, regardless of age, heritage or cultural differences, to learn the art of Ikebana through the shared language of beauty. My heart is beaming with happiness when I see the spirits and dedication of my students. It is also extremely rewarding to see some of my students continuing on with the teaching of Ikebana with students of their own. I hope the “Autumn Spectacular” Flower Show will be an inspiration to our friends and guests. In the aftermath of the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan last year and all the suffering and atrocities happening around the world, we hope the beauty of Ikebana can help lift the spirit and bring some joy to every one of our visitors. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Wafu Teshigahara, Headmaster of Wafu School, and Japan headquarters for their support. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the City of Cupertino and the Adult and Community Education Division of the Fremont Union High School District for co-sponsoring this flower show. My heartfelt appreciation goes to my students for their hard work and dedication to the art of Ikebana and to my beloved husband, John Hoyrup. To our friends and guests, welcome and enjoy the show!

  • Asian Extreme As Cult Cinema: the Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies
    Asian Extreme as Cult Cinema: The Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University MA Film Studies, University of British Columbia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Communications and Arts Hughes 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the way Western audiences respond to portrayals of excess and otherness in Japanese Extreme cinema. It explores the way a recent (2006-2016) cycle of Japanese Splatter (J-Splatter) films, including The Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008) and Tokyo Gore Police (Yoshihiro Nishimura, 2008), have been positioned as cult due to their over-the-top representations of violence and stereotypes of Japanese culture. Phenomenological research and personal interviews interrogate Western encounters with J-Splatter films at niche film festivals and on DVD and various online platforms through independent distributors. I argue that these films are marketed to particular Western cult audiences using vocabulary and images that highlight the exotic nature of globally recognised Japanese cultural symbols such as schoolgirls and geisha. This thesis analyses J-Splatter’s transnational, cosmopolitan appeal using an approach informed by the work of Ernest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton, Matt Hills, Henry Jenkins, and Iain Robert Smith, who read the relationship between Western audiences and international cult cinema as positive and meaningful cultural interactions, demonstrating a desire to engage in more global experiences. The chapters in this thesis use textual analysis of J-Splatter films and case studies of North American and Australian film festivals and distribution companies, which include interviews with festival directors and distributors, to analyse the nature of the appeal of J- Splatter to Western audiences.

  • The Transformation of a Recent Japanese New Religion Okawa Ryuho and Kofuku No Kagaku
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1995 22/3-4 The Transformation of a Recent Japanese New Religion Okawa Ryuho and Kofuku no Kagaku Trevor A s t l e y Over the last five years Kofuku no Kagaku has been one of the most promi­ nent among the newer Japanese religious movements. Its leader, Okawa Ryuho, proclaims himself to be the rebirth of the Buddha, citing as proof the astonishing number of books he has written. This paper traces the orga­ nizational development of Kofuku no Kagaku, the evolution of its teach­ ings, and its shift to active involvement in sociopolitical issues. The year 1991 saw the sudden rise to prominence of a hitherto obscure new religious group known as Kofuku no Kagaku 辛福の科学 (lit.，“the science of happiness，，，but also known in English as “The Institute for Research in Human Happiness” [IRH]).1 Founded m October 1986 by Okawa Ryuho 大川隆法，a self-proclaimed reincarna­ tion of the Buddha, Kofuku no Kagaku reported a phenomenal increase in membership, saw enormous sales of its publications, and enjoyed extensive media coverage or its activities. At the same time, however, it beean attracting increasingly harsh criticism from scholars, the popular press, and other religious groups. Such controversy (hardly unusual for such a rapidly expanding New Religion), coupled with the polemical views and distinctive oratory style of the leader, insured that few people in Japan remained ignorant of the group. Kofuku no Kagaku has remained in the news, most recently because or its fierce criticism of Asahara Shoko and Aum ^hmnkyo, * The author expresses his appreciation and thanks to Kofuku no K agaku, who made it possible to write the present article through their generous and open support.

  • Commonlit | I Have a Dream
    Name: Class: I Have a Dream By Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist who was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. He worked to end racial discrimination against African Americans throughout his life. King delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech to over 250,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. In this speech, King discusses racial inequality in America and his hopes for African Americans’ civil rights. As you read, take note of how King uses figurative language and how it contributes to the development of the central ideas of his speech. [1] I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today,1 signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free.

    Eiki Matayoshi's Pig's Revenge: The Dismemberment of a Title Community Author(s) Hamagawa, Hitoshi 沖縄キリスト教学院大学論集 = Okinawa Christian Citation University Review(2): 69-81 Issue Date 2006-01-31 URL http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12001/9513 Rights 沖縄キリスト教学院大学 Okinawa Christian University Review No.2 (2005) Eiki Matayoshi's Pig's Revenge: The Dismemberment of a Community Hitoshi Hamagawa ABSTRACT This paper examines Eiki Matayoshi's Pig's Revenge (Buta no Mukui) —the 1996 winner of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize —in an attempt to uncover a form of Orientalism by Okinawans against their fellow Okinawans. It argues that during the process of modernization, local communities throughout Okinawa experienced a series of transformations within which intellectuals have come to harbor ambivalent opinions about their home islands and cultures. Such ambivalent feelings charac terize the attitude of the protagonist, Shokichi, towards the three food-devouring female characters who represent the backwardness and the provincial elements of Okinawa. This paper demonstrates how Matayoshi's Pigs Revenge presents Okinawa as a political and cultural "other" in relation to Japan. Readers sense in the person of Shokichi the same kind of sorrow and loneliness as held by the Okinawan intellectual elite —victims of discursive self-exclusion, who, born and raised in Okinawa, were nevertheless forced to adopt foreign perspectives through which to "discover," ironically, what had always been theirs to begin with. Introduction mixing their admiration with a hint of conde When The Okinawa Program was first scension. published in 2001 with its ambitious subtitle: In Okinawa Ryori no Chikara (Power of How the World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Okinawan Cuisine), Asako Kishi also describes Everlasting Health—and How You Can Too, the traditional ways of living on Okinawa under traditional culinary culture of Okinawa enjoyed the same favorable light.
